Explore Dumaresq Island, New South Wales, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Dumaresq Island, NSW 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 Dumaresq Island, New South Wales, 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 Dumaresq Island.
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.

Dumaresq Island is a locality in the Mid-Coast Council local government area of New South Wales, Australia. The locality covers an area of 8.4 km².

Dumaresq Island lies as a verdant smudge in the embrace of the Manning River, a sanctuary of quietude where the water’s gentle murmur is the prevailing soundtrack. It lies 62.3 km south-west of Port Macquarie, NSW (from Port Macquarie, NSW: bearing 217°T), and is situated 5.5 km east-south-east of Taree. The land here, soft and fertile, breathes with the humidity of the coast, the air thick with the scent of salt and the distant perfume of blooming frangipani. Mangroves stand sentinel along its edges, their intricate root systems a testament to the tidal ebb and flow, while inland, pastures stretch out, a patchwork of emerald green under a sky that often bleeds into shades of bruised plum and molten gold as the sun dips low. The character of Dumaresq Island is one of understated beauty, a place where the slow unfolding of the day dictates the rhythm of life, and the sunlight, when it breaks through the coastal haze, casts a luminous, almost ethereal glow across the landscape.
The history of Dumaresq Island is intrinsically linked to the bounty of its waterways, a legacy that continues to shape its local economy. For generations, the fertile soils have supported agricultural pursuits, with dairy farming and grazing being prominent, the rich pastures yielding a steady harvest. The river’s influence extends to fishing, a practice that has sustained families and contributed to the island’s identity, the catch often finding its way to local markets and neighbouring communities. While not overtly a hub of industry, Dumaresq Island possesses a quiet resilience, its economy rooted in the land and the water that encircles it, fostering a sense of self-sufficiency and a deep connection to the natural environment. The island’s distinctive charm lies in this unpretentious prosperity, a place where the past is a gentle undercurrent to the present, and the simple act of living in harmony with the river is its most enduring characteristic.

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 Dumaresq Island is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
