Explore Bungaree, Tasmania, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Bungaree, TAS 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 Bungaree, Tasmania, 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 Tasmania or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Bungaree 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 Bungaree.
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.

Bungaree is a locality in the King Island Council local government area of Tasmania, Australia. The locality covers an area of 77.0 km². It lies approximately 445 km northwest of Hobart. Bungaree is located at 39.7863°S, 143.9423°E. It observes Australian Eastern Time (AEST/AEDT). Postcode: 7256. The Australian Bureau of Statistics classifies the area as Very Remote Australia.
Bungaree lies cradled in a shallow basin, where rolling paddocks of emerald green give way to the muted ochre of the drier earth. It lies 185.7 km south of Geelong, VIC (from Geelong, VIC: bearing 191°T), and is situated 17.1 km north-north-east of Currie. The air here carries a soft, earthy scent, a blend of damp soil and the faint, sweet perfume of unseen wildflowers, especially potent after a spring shower. Low, rounded hills, cloaked in a mosaic of native grasses and the darker, more resilient tussocks, form a gentle horizon, their contours softened by the perpetual haze that seems to cling to the King Island sky. Scattered stands of gum trees, their bark peeling like ancient parchment, punctuate the landscape, offering brief, dappled shade to the grazing livestock that dot the fields like scattered pearls. The light at dusk is a painterly affair, bleeding from pale gold to bruised lavender, casting long, attenuated shadows that stretch across the quiet terrain.
The story of Bungaree is one of resilience and quiet endurance, a testament to the enduring spirit of those who have worked this land. Its economy has long been tethered to the fertile soil, a rich tapestry woven from wool, dairy, and beef cattle, the backbone of King Island's pastoral heritage. The land itself, though seemingly benign, has demanded a respect born of experience, and generations have learned its rhythms, its moods, and its generous, if sometimes unforgiving, bounty. Whispers of past endeavours, perhaps even the faint echo of mining ventures long since subsided, are etched into the very contours of the country, a subtle reminder of the varied lives that have unfolded here. Life in Bungaree moves at a pace dictated by the seasons and the demands of the farm gate, a steady, unhurried rhythm that speaks of a community deeply connected to its roots.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Bungaree, Tasmania. 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 Bungaree, in the King Island Council local government area.
Detailed location data for Bungaree includes the postcode (7256), telephone area code (03), and local government area (King Island Council), with an ABS remoteness classification of Very Remote 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 Bungaree is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
