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 Antill Ponds, Tasmania, 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 Antill Ponds.
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.

Antill Ponds rests in a broad, shallow basin, a landscape where the earth seems to sigh under the vast Tasmanian sky. It lies 74.3 km north of Hobart, TAS (from Hobart, TAS: bearing 5°T), and is situated 11.2 km north-east of Oatlands. Rolling hills, softened by a cloak of green pasture and scattered stands of eucalypt, gently cradle the scattered homesteads and the namesake ponds. These shallow depressions, often reflecting the bruised colours of the approaching dusk, are fringed with sedges and reeds, their stillness broken only by the plop of a frog or the distant bleat of sheep. The air here carries a clean, cool scent, a blend of damp earth and the faint, sweet perfume of flowering gorse, a testament to the fertile, yet understated, character of the Southern Midlands.
The history of Antill Ponds is etched not in grand monuments, but in the enduring cycles of the land, a story of rural endeavour and quiet persistence. For generations, this has been sheep country, the wool clip a steady, if humble, contributor to the local economy, its fortunes tied to the seasons and the global market. The ponds themselves, a feature of the region's geology, have long been a source of water for livestock and a haven for birdlife, a subtle beauty in a land primarily shaped by agricultural needs. While no great industries have sprung from this ground, the resilience of those who have worked its soil, year in and year out, forms the true character of Antill Ponds, a place that understands the value of patience and the quiet strength of the land.

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 Antill Ponds is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
