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 Tewantin, Queensland, 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 Tewantin.
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.

Tewantin breathes the humid, salt-laced air of the Sunshine Coast, its character shaped by the languid embrace of the Noosa River and the whispering proximity of ancient rainforest. It lies 33.4 km north of Buderim, QLD (from Buderim, QLD: bearing 351°T), and is situated 5.5 km north-west of Noosaville. Low-slung buildings, painted in sun-bleached pastels and earthy ochres, cluster around a main street that hums with a gentle, coastal cadence, a stark contrast to the dense green wall of the Noosa National Park that rises protectively to the east. The river itself, a broad, shimmering artery, dictates the town’s rhythm, its waters reflecting the deep, almost bruised colours of the sky at dusk, a daily spectacle that casts a soft, painterly glow over the moored boats and the weathered timber of the jetties. Here, the land slopes softly towards the water, a gentle terrain where the scent of frangipani mingles with the briny tang of the sea, and the distant cries of seabirds are a constant, melodic underscore.
The history of Tewantin is a story woven into the fabric of the river and the timber that once sustained its early growth. For generations, this land was a vital waterway and a source of sustenance for Indigenous peoples, a legacy that whispers through the rustling leaves of the surrounding bushland. Later, the rich timber stands drew loggers, their labour a foundational element of the nascent economy, followed by farmers who cultivated the fertile soil. Today, Tewantin’s character is largely defined by its role as a gateway and a vibrant hub for the neighbouring tourist destinations, yet it retains a distinctive, less polished charm of its own. The local economy thrives on a blend of small businesses, artisan shops, and the enduring allure of its riverside setting, a place where the pace of life feels dictated less by the clock and more by the ebb and flow of the tides. The marina, a bustling centre of activity, hints at the town’s enduring connection to the water, a constant reminder of the journeys that have shaped Tewantin and continue to draw travellers to its shores.

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 Tewantin is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
