You can use the zoom buttons on the lower right side of the map to zoom in or out to street-level detail.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets — plus a labelled MGA grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below. You will find live weather, local and world news further down the page.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Ongerup, Western Australia, Australia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views.

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Geoscience Australia National Base Map — seamless topographic mapping covering the mainland, Tasmania and the external territories. NATMAP 250K shows the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 map sheets, mosaicked nationwide — the printed sheets generations of Australians navigated the outback with. The search box finds any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Ongerup.
Reading the map like a paper sheet. Click Grid to overlay the Map Grid of Australia (MGA), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as an MGA grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what emergency services and search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need mobile coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load, which across much of inland Australia is most of the time.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Ongerup lies cradled by a landscape that speaks of patient earth and an endless sky, where the ochre dust settles softly on hardy scrub and the distant horizon offers a perpetual promise. It lies 130.8 km north-north-east of Albany, WA (from Albany, WA: bearing 25°T), and is situated 44.8 km east of Gnowangerup. The land here is a study in muted resilience, a canvas of pale golds and dusty greens that shifts subtly with the sun's arc, from the sharp clarity of midday to the bruised purples of dusk. The air, often carrying the dry scent of eucalyptus, can feel as thin as old paper on a summer afternoon, yet it holds a certain balm, a quiet stillness that permeates the very bones of the place.
The story of Ongerup is as deeply rooted as the sandalwood that once flourished here, a tale woven from the ambition of early settlers and the enduring spirit of agriculture. For generations, the rich, red soils have yielded their bounty, primarily wheat and wool, forming the backbone of Ongerup's economy and shaping the character of its people. The rhythm of the seasons dictates the pulse of life, with the quiet hum of machinery in the fields during harvest and a welcome lull in the cooler months. While the sandalwood trade has largely receded into memory, the legacy of those early days remains, a subtle undertow beneath the surface of this enduring agricultural heartland.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name; offers Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets as base layers; overlays a labelled Map Grid of Australia (MGA) so the map can be read like a printed topographic sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as an MGA grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from Geoscape Administrative Boundaries (GDA2020) and enriched with GeoNames and Australian Bureau of Statistics data, matched by coordinate proximity — ensuring the correct Ongerup is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
