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 Willare, 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 Willare.
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.

Willare unfolds across a landscape sculpted by ancient waterways, where the St George Range rises in a soft, ochre haze against the vast, pale blue sky. It lies 987.1 km south-west of Darwin City, NT (from Darwin City, NT: bearing 234°T), and is situated 47.0 km west-south-west of Derby. The earth here, a rich, ruddy hue, stretches out in broad plains punctuated by hardy spinifex and scattered ghost gums, their stark white trunks catching the sunlight. The air itself carries a dry, warm embrace, a constant reminder of the sun's dominion, and in the late afternoon, the light softens, casting long, languid shadows that paint the land in strokes of amber and rose. Small stands of acacia trees offer scant shade, their delicate leaves whispering in the infrequent breeze, creating a subtle rustle that is the dominant sound of this quiet country.
The history of Willare is deeply entwined with the Yawuru people, the traditional custodians of this land, and the subsequent pastoral leases that defined its early European settlement. For generations, cattle have been the lifeblood of Willare, their stock routes tracing the paths of ancient songlines, and the economy still hums with the rhythms of the cattle stations that dot the surrounding plains. The Fitzroy River, a vital artery in this arid land, flows nearby, its seasonal moods dictating the fortunes of those who live by its banks. While not a bustling centre, Willare offers a glimpse into a way of life shaped by the immense scale of the Kimberley, a resilience born from the challenging beauty of the country and the enduring spirit of its inhabitants.

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