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 Whiteman, 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 Whiteman.
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.

Whiteman rests against the gentle slopes that spill towards the Swan River, a landscape shaped by ancient geology and the patient sculpting of water. It lies 6.8 km south-south-west of Ellenbrook, WA (from Ellenbrook, WA: bearing 202°T), and is situated 9.5 km north-east of Dianella. The air here carries a faint, dry scent of eucalyptus and sun-baked earth, a testament to the prevailing Mediterranean climate that blesses these lands with warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Winding tracks, some paved and some still just worn paths through the scrub, crisscross the undulating terrain, leading past stands of tuart trees whose broad, pale leaves shimmer in the bright Western Australian sunlight. The country itself feels open, breathing, a place where the horizon seems to stretch with a quiet promise, and the very soil underfoot holds a certain warmth, even as the afternoon begins to soften.
The story of Whiteman is deeply intertwined with the fertile plains bordering the Swan River, a waterway that has sustained life and facilitated transport for millennia. Historically, this region was a vital resource for Indigenous peoples, and while specific traditional custodians are not widely documented for this exact locality, the river's enduring significance speaks to a long and continuous connection to the land. Later colonial settlement saw the area blossom into a productive agricultural hub, its rich soils yielding a bounty of produce that fed the growing colony. Today, remnants of that pastoral heritage can still be seen in the patchwork of paddocks and farmsteads, though the local economy has diversified, embracing viticulture in the neighbouring areas and a growing appreciation for its natural beauty. Whiteman itself now serves as a gateway to the rolling vineyards and the tranquil waters of the Swan, a place where the echoes of its agricultural past mingle with the contemporary hum of a region finding new ways to thrive.

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