Try Maps Down Under. You can view their web site here or try Google to see if there are others.

Here is another one. http://www.ga.gov.au/map/names/

Hiya,

One trick would be to load up the new Google Earth (provided you have a grunty PC and a Broadband connection!) and then you can just fly around the map and see where they are. When u see one you want, the Lat Long is listed on the screen. Too easy.

Just an option.

I matched the co ords from google earth to a 1:25000 map of Bendethra I have and I would say it was prety close to spot on. Have also had someone compare his GPS co ords of his house to google earth and he says it was out by only a few meters, as in he was at the front door and google earth had it near the side fence only a few meters away

Not sure how you are going to use the lat/long when you have them.

Mapping software such as OziExplorer or Trackranger allow you to plan, mark coordinates and upload into a GPS (with sutiable data cable). Such software still require digital maps.

For just under $100 you can get the Natmap Mosiac which has every 250000 map of australia joined together into one big map. The Natmap map can be used on its own and will give you lat/long for any place in Australia (not suitable for inner city detail)

You can use the map in conjunction with a GPS as a two way street. If you want to know where you are on the map you can set the map to the lat/long of the GPS. If you know a place on the map, set the lat/long of that place in the GPS as a waypoint and then the GPS will help you find the spot.

The moving map software is nice (know where you are at all times and shows approaching turnoffs which is handy if towing down a narrow road) but just the map and GPS work very well.

If you don't have moving map software, but your GPS can send and receive data, then use a digital map to give you lat/long, put them into freeware software such as "EasyGPS" (easy to get from net) and upload into the GPS.

I have used all of the above to great effect but of course still carry a paper map as backup.

Trust this helps
