Explore Taree South, New South Wales, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Taree South, 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 Taree South, New South Wales, Australia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views.

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 Taree South.
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.

Taree South lies on the southern bank of the Manning River, a place where the land gently slopes towards the broad, shimmering waterway. It lies 67.2 km south-west of Port Macquarie, NSW (from Port Macquarie, NSW: bearing 218°T), and is situated 5.0 km south of Taree. The air here carries the subtle, damp scent of the river flats, a constant reminder of the water's proximity, and the light often softens to a hazy gold as the afternoon wears on, catching the feathery tops of the paperbark trees that fringe the riverbanks. Residential streets, lined with established gardens, spill out towards open paddocks where cattle graze, their forms softened by the distance and the pervasive, almost milky, coastal haze. The terrain itself is a study in subtle gradients, a low-lying landscape that speaks of the river’s patient sculpting over millennia, with pockets of denser bushland offering a darker, cooler contrast to the sun-drenched clearings.
The history of Taree South is inextricably linked to the Manning River, a vital artery for transport and sustenance since Indigenous custodians first navigated its waters. Early European settlers arrived seeking fertile land for agriculture, and the area developed as a hub for dairy farming and timber milling, the echoes of which can still be felt in the sturdy, unpretentious architecture of older buildings. While the broader Taree region has diversified, Taree South retains a strong connection to its rural roots, with a local economy still influenced by agricultural produce and the ongoing importance of the river for recreation and as a picturesque backdrop. The distinctive character of Taree South is that of a community that lives comfortably alongside its natural environment, a quiet settlement that feels both grounded and serenely connected to the ebb and flow of the Manning.

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 Taree South is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
