Explore Yandoo Creek, Western Australia, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Yandoo Creek, WA map and move it around to re-centre it. 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 Yandoo Creek, 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.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

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 Yandoo Creek.
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.

Yandoo Creek is a locality in the Shire Of Carnarvon local government area of Western Australia, Australia. The locality covers an area of 3602.8 km². It lies approximately 865 km north of Perth. Yandoo Creek is located at 24.2882°S, 114.3170°E. It observes Australian Western Standard Time (AWST) - no daylight saving. Postcode: 6701. The Australian Bureau of Statistics classifies the area as Very Remote Australia.
Yandoo Creek lies at the western edge of the Shire of Carnarvon, a place where the rust-coloured earth meets the subtle blue of the distant Indian Ocean. It lies 499.9 km north of Geraldton, WA (from Geraldton, WA: bearing 357°T), and is situated 92.9 km north-east of Carnarvon. The landscape here is one of sweeping, sun-baked plains, punctuated by hardy saltbush and acacia scrub that clings tenaciously to the dry, cracked soil. Gentle undulations in the terrain suggest ancient, weathered geology, and the air, even on a still day, carries a faint whisper of the sea, a subtle salinity that hints at the proximity of the coast. The light, particularly in the late afternoon, possesses a remarkable clarity, bleaching the colours of the land to a soft ochre and casting long, sharp shadows that define the sparse vegetation.
This is a locality shaped by the long, slow processes of pastoralism and the enduring spirit of those who have worked this land for generations. For many years, Yandoo Creek was a hub for sheep grazing, the wool clip a vital part of the regional economy, a quiet industry that dictated the rhythm of life. While the economic landscape has shifted, the echoes of that era remain in the weathered shearing sheds and the vast, unfenced paddocks that stretch to the horizon. The proximity to the larger centre of Carnarvon means that while Yandoo Creek retains its character as a place of open spaces and hardy resilience, it is not entirely removed from the broader currents of commerce and connection. The occasional rumble of a truck on the distant bitumen road is a reminder of the vital arteries that link this remote corner to the wider world.

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 Yandoo Creek is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
