Explore Parmelia, Western Australia, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Parmelia, WA map and move it around to re-centre it. You can change between standard map view and satellite map view by clicking the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. 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 Parmelia, Western Australia, Australia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
Drag the map to pan to any area of Western Australia or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Parmelia and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
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 Parmelia.
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.

Parmelia lies on the western edge of the Kwinana landscape, a place where the coastal plains begin their gentle incline towards the Darling Scarp. It lies 9.4 km north of Baldivis, WA (from Baldivis, WA: bearing 356°T), and is situated 9.4 km east-north-east of Rockingham. The air here often carries the faint, briny tang of the nearby Indian Ocean, a subtle reminder of the vast expanse of water that shapes this coast. Fields, some still bearing the stubble of harvested crops, stretch out under a sky that can shift from the bleached blue of midday to the bruised purples and oranges of a spectacular sunset. The earth itself, a rich ochre, feels dry and thirsty for much of the year, its contours smoothed by wind and the relentless sun. This is a land that feels both exposed and resilient, open to the elements yet possessing a quiet strength.
Historically, the Kwinana region, and by extension Parmelia, has been a crossroads of industry and settlement. Long before European arrival, Indigenous peoples moved across this land, their connection to its resources and waterways deeply ingrained. Later, the development of heavy industry and port facilities in neighbouring areas cast a long shadow, bringing with it a distinct economic character. While Parmelia itself might not be defined by a single, overwhelming industry, it exists within the orbit of this industrial heartland, its residential areas a counterpoint to the steel and concrete that define parts of the broader region. The local economy is a mix, supporting the needs of those who work in the surrounding industrial zones, while also retaining echoes of its agricultural past in the remaining rural landholdings that dot the periphery. The land here has been shaped by human endeavour, a narrative written in the soil and the sky.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Parmelia, Western Australia. Live weather conditions with current observations and a 7-day forecast are powered by Open-Meteo. Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while an editorially written description provides background on Parmelia, in the City Of Kwinana local government area.
Detailed location data for Parmelia includes the postcode (6167), telephone area code (08), and local government area (City Of Kwinana), with an ABS remoteness classification of Major Cities of Australia. These are among the most commonly searched location details for any Australian city, town or locality.
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 Parmelia is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
