This url displays the given Melway map, much like Google Maps, however, using the Ausway database.

Melway references are a ubiquitous way of describing locations in Melbourne Australia.

The command takes three switches:
  -page  (The Melway page number.  Try "1a" for starters.)
  -ref   (The grid reference of the page.)
  -book  (The map book in question.)

I couldn't get -book to work with anything other than "Melway", but then I don't know how the pages are numbered in the other books.

Giving "melwayref" no parameters will bring up an interactive map of Australia / New Zealand from which all books can be accessed.
