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.

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 Welbungin.
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.

Welbungin rests in a landscape that breathes with the wide sky, a place where the horizon stretches in a gentle, ochre-tinged sweep of farmland and scrub. It lies 224.4 km east-north-east of Ellenbrook, WA (from Ellenbrook, WA: bearing 61°T), and is situated 25.8 km west-north-west of Mukinbudin. The air here, particularly in the hushed hours before dawn, carries a fine, dry scent of sun-baked earth and the distant, dusty perfume of eucalypts, a subtle aroma that clings to the woollen jumpers of early-rising farmers. The land itself is a study in understated resilience, a tapestry of pale grasses and hardy, low-lying shrubs that cling to the shallow undulations, punctuated by the stoic silhouettes of scattered sheep and the occasional glint of a corrugated iron roof. The quality of light at dusk is a particular marvel, softening the hard edges of the day and painting the vast expanse in hues of lavender and pale gold, a fleeting beauty that seems to hold the very essence of the Australian wheatbelt.
The story of Welbungin is written in the furrows of its fields and the grain elevators that stand like silent sentinels against the blue. This is a place shaped by the persistent labour of generations, where the local economy has long been tethered to the bounty of the land – wheat, barley, and the ever-present sheep. The echoes of a pioneering spirit are palpable, a quiet determination that has seen this locality thrive through boom and quiet, a testament to the enduring connection between its people and the soil. While not a place of grand pronouncements or bustling throngs, Welbungin possesses a distinct character, a gentle rhythm that speaks of self-reliance and neighbourly support, a quiet strength found in the shared endeavour of rural life.

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