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 Wamenusking, 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.

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 Wamenusking.
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.

Wamenusking lies under a vast, pale sky, a quiet scattering of structures embraced by the broad, sweeping contours of the Western Australian wheatbelt. It lies 148.8 km east of Gosnells, WA (from Gosnells, WA: bearing 93°T), and is situated 24.1 km south-east of Quairading. The land here unfolds in gentle swells of ochre earth, broken by the stoic green of hardy cereal crops and the silver-grey of scattered eucalyptus. Long, straight roads, like threads pulled taut across a tapestry of fields, lead the eye towards horizons that seem to stretch into forever, broken only by the occasional stand of trees or a solitary farmhouse. The air, when it’s not carrying the scent of sun-baked earth and ripening grain, holds a stillness that amplifies the distant bleating of sheep or the low hum of a passing ute. Even the shadows cast by the low-slung sun possess a certain languid grace, stretching long and thin across the paddocks in the late afternoon.
The history of Wamenusking is etched into the very way the land is worked, a story of resilience and adaptation tied to the ebb and flow of agricultural cycles. This is country that has long yielded its bounty to those who understand its rhythms, primarily through the cultivation of wheat and barley, the golden staple that shapes the local economy and fills the towering silos that punctuate the landscape. The spirit of early settlers, who carved a life from this often unforgiving terrain, still seems to linger in the sturdy, unpretentious buildings and the enduring sense of community. For travellers passing through, Wamenusking offers a glimpse into a way of life deeply connected to the soil, a place where the simple act of watching the clouds drift across the immense sky can feel like an event in itself.

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