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 West Leederville.
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.

West Leederville rests on a gentle rise, its character a quiet blend of established residential streets and burgeoning commercial hubs. It lies 3.0 km north-west of Perth, WA (from Perth, WA: bearing 307°T), and is situated 6.6 km south-south-west of Dianella. The air here, particularly in the late afternoon, carries a softened luminescence, a pale gold that seems to cling to the broad-leafed fig trees lining the footpaths and the weathered brickwork of older homes. Beneath this pleasant veneer, the terrain is subtly undulating, a low-lying plain that hints at the proximity of the coast without revealing the ocean itself. Winds, often carrying the faintest whisper of salt, rustle through the gardens, stirring the leaves of jacarandas and bottlebrush, their colours a vibrant counterpoint to the muted earth tones of the soil.
The history of West Leederville is intrinsically linked to the development of its neighbouring port city, its growth spurred by the need for accessible housing and amenities for workers drawn to the burgeoning industries of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Once primarily a residential suburb, West Leederville has transformed, its local economy now a dynamic mix of small businesses, cafes that hum with morning chatter, and professional services. The distinctive character of West Leederville is perhaps best captured in the blend of its heritage architecture, with its solid, unpretentious homes, and the modern, sleek lines of newer developments that have sprung up, particularly around the main thoroughfares. This constant, yet gentle, evolution gives West Leederville a sense of enduring vitality, a place that honours its past while confidently embracing its future.

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.
