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 Wijilawarrim.
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.

Wijilawarrim lies under a sky that stretches, immense and impossibly blue, above a land that breathes the ancient scent of spinifex and sun-baked earth. It lies 452.4 km south-west of Darwin City, NT (from Darwin City, NT: bearing 214°T), and is situated 34.8 km south-east of Wyndham. The terrain here is a study in subtle, ochre tones, where low, weathered hills meet the vast, flat plains, their surfaces etched by the tireless work of wind and water. Acacia trees, their delicate foliage a stark contrast to the ruggedness of the land, dot the landscape, offering scant shade against the relentless Australian sun. The air itself feels alive, carrying the dry whisper of the bush, a sound that can lull the senses into a deep appreciation of the quiet persistence of nature. Dusk here is a spectacle of deepening purples and fiery oranges, bleeding into the horizon, painting the land in hues of profound stillness.
This is a place where the echoes of generations past are carried on the breeze, a landscape shaped by the enduring presence of Indigenous custodians and the more recent, often challenging, endeavours of European settlement. Historically, the economy of Wijilawarrim has been inextricably linked to the pastoral industry, with vast cattle stations forming the backbone of its existence, a legacy still visible in the weathered fences and the knowledge held by those who work the land. The land itself holds secrets of mineral wealth, though its exploitation has been a careful dance with the environment, a delicate balance pursued by those who seek its bounty. Travellers passing through Wijilawarrim often remark on the unhurried pace of life, a rhythm dictated not by clocks but by the seasons and the demands of the country, a stark departure from the hurried centres of the coast.

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