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 Oombulgurri.
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.

Oombulgurri stands as a sentinel on the northern fringes of the East Kimberley, where the ochre earth yields to the vast, shimmering expanse of the Timor Sea. It lies 384.0 km south-west of Darwin City, NT (from Darwin City, NT: bearing 229°T), and is situated 96.9 km north of Wyndham. Here, the land rises in a rugged embrace, a mosaic of ancient sandstone outcrops weathered by millennia of wind and sun, interspersed with hardy spinifex and acacia that cling tenaciously to the arid soil. The air itself carries a palpable dryness, a whisper of distant cattle stations and the ghosts of ancient journeys, yet it is softened by the occasional breath of salty air from the coast, hinting at the proximity of the ocean’s wilder heart. The colours here are stark and vibrant: the deep red of the soil bleeds into the pale, bleached blues of the sky, punctuated by the emerald of hardy vegetation and the blinding white of sun-baked rock.
This is a place where the echoes of a hard-won past resonate with the quiet hum of present-day life, intrinsically linked to the broader economic currents of the Shire of Wyndham-East Kimberley. For generations, the land has sustained livelihoods, primarily through vast cattle grazing operations that stretch towards the horizon, their boundaries marked by distant fences and the hardy spirit of those who work them. The proximity to the coast, while not a bustling harbour, offers a different kind of bounty, with the promise of rich fishing grounds that have long been a source of sustenance and a quiet pastime. The history of Oombulgurri is etched not in grand monuments, but in the enduring resilience of its people and the subtle, persistent beauty of its untamed landscape, a testament to the enduring power of place in the far north.

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 Oombulgurri is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
