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 Throssell, 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 Throssell.
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.

Throssell rests in a wide expanse of Western Australia's wheatbelt, where the land rolls with a gentle, almost imperceptible swell. It lies 81.9 km east of Ellenbrook, WA (from Ellenbrook, WA: bearing 86°T), and is situated 17.1 km east-south-east of Northam. The sky here is a vast, unbroken canvas, often painted with the fiery hues of sunset that bleed across the horizon, casting long, attenuated shadows from the scattered gum trees. The air, particularly in the late afternoon, carries a dry, earthy scent, a subtle perfume of sun-baked soil and ripening grain, and the silence is profound, broken only by the distant bleating of sheep or the whisper of wind through the dry stalks of wheat. The landscape itself feels ancient, a patient witness to the ceaseless cycles of sun and rain, its character defined by an enduring, quiet strength.
Historically, Throssell and its surroundings are deeply entwined with the agricultural development of the region, a story told in the weathered timber of old farmhouses and the stoic grain silos that punctuate the skyline. This is land that has been coaxed into yielding its bounty through generations of hard work, primarily through wheat and sheep farming, forming the bedrock of the local economy. The nearby Avon River, though often a modest flow, has historically been a vital artery, shaping the patterns of settlement and providing a lifeline for the pastoral pursuits that define the character of Throssell. While not a place of grand pronouncements or bustling tourism, its distinctiveness lies in this unpretentious connection to the earth, a quiet testament to resilience and the enduring spirit of those who call this wide, open country home.

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