Explore Weeroona Island, South Australia, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Weeroona Island, SA 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 Weeroona Island, South Australia, 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).
Drag the map to pan to any area of South Australia or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Weeroona Island and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
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 Weeroona 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.

Weeroona Island is a slender finger of land reaching into the vastness of the Spencer Gulf, its shores a gentle curve of ochre sand meeting the cool, deep blue of the water. It lies 178.9 km north-north-west of Gawler, SA (from Gawler, SA: bearing 338°T), and is situated 8.0 km north-north-east of Port Pirie. The air here carries the sharp tang of salt and the dry, earthy scent of coastal scrub, a perpetual perfume that clings to everything. Low, scrubby vegetation, resilient and wind-scoured, blankets the island’s gentle undulations, interspersed with hardy succulents that hold their moisture against the relentless sun. The light, especially as the day begins to fade, can be extraordinary, bathing the land in a soft, honeyed glow that seems to deepen the very colour of the earth and sea. The stillness is profound, broken only by the cry of a gull or the whisper of the wind through the sparse grasses.
The history of Weeroona Island is a quiet one, more about enduring than grand pronouncements. For generations, it was a place of sustenance for Indigenous peoples, a rich hunting and gathering ground where the bounty of the sea met the sparse offerings of the land. Later, European settlers saw its potential, primarily for grazing, the tough native grasses providing a meagre but reliable living for sheep. The island’s isolation, once a challenge, now contributes to its charm, a place where the pace of life is dictated by the tides and the seasons rather than the frantic pulse of the mainland. Today, a small community persists, their lives intertwined with the sea, some still tending small flocks, others finding work in the neighbouring mainland towns, but many drawn to the simple, unhurried rhythm of life on Weeroona Island itself, where the horizon feels infinite.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Weeroona Island, South Australia. 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 Weeroona Island, in The Dc Of Mount Remarkable local government area.
Detailed location data for Weeroona Island includes the postcode (5495), telephone area code (08), and local government area (The Dc Of Mount Remarkable), with an ABS remoteness classification of Outer Regional 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 Weeroona Island is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
