Explore Weetangera, Australian Capital Territory, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Weetangera, ACT 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 Weetangera, Australian Capital Territory, 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 Weetangera.
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.

Weetangera is a locality in the Australian Capital Territory, Australia. It has a population of approximately 2,481. The locality covers an area of 1.6 km², giving a population density of about 1560.4 people per km². It sits at an elevation of around 646 m above sea level.

Weetangera unfolds across a landscape sculpted by the broad, sweeping arcs of the Molonglo River, its waters reflecting the vast, often crystalline, Canberra sky. It lies 83.5 km south-west of Goulburn, NSW (from Goulburn, NSW: bearing 227°T), and is situated 10.3 km south-south-west of Ngunnawal. The terrain here, a gentle swell of hills cloaked in native grasses and interspersed with stands of eucalypt, rises and falls with a quiet dignity. In the late afternoon, the sun bleeds a molten gold across the western slopes, illuminating the textures of the land – the rough bark of the gum trees, the subtle ochre and green of the pastures. The air, particularly after a rain, carries the clean, sharp scent of damp earth and eucalyptus, a subtle perfume that speaks of the Australian bush. Even the wind seems to whisper secrets as it rustles through the dry grasses, a constant, low murmur that is as much a part of Weetangera as its silent, watchful hills.
The history of Weetangera is inextricably linked to the agricultural pulse of the region, its fertile lands long supporting grazing and cultivation before the planned city of Canberra took root nearby. For generations, families have worked this soil, their lives dictated by the seasons and the needs of their livestock. While the surrounding areas have urbanised, Weetangera retains a connection to its pastoral roots, a quiet defiance against the relentless march of development. The local economy, though diversified, still carries the imprint of its farming heritage, with some holdings continuing to contribute to the region’s agricultural output. This enduring character, this sense of place grounded in the land, is what distinguishes Weetangera, a subtle strength felt by those who know its particular contours.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Weetangera, Australian Capital Territory. Live weather conditions with current observations and a 7-day forecast are powered by Open-Meteo. Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while an editorially written description provides background on Weetangera.
Detailed location data for Weetangera includes the postcode (2614), telephone area code (02), with an ABS remoteness classification of Major Cities of Australia. These are among the most commonly searched location details for any Australian city, town or locality.
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 Weetangera is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
