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 Collinsvale, 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 Collinsvale.
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.

Collinsvale unfurls across a gentle slope where the land begins its slow descent towards the Derwent River, its character defined by the broad, open pastures that still dominate the vista. It lies 13.8 km west-north-west of Hobart, TAS (from Hobart, TAS: bearing 290°T), and is situated 7.1 km west of Glenorchy. The air here carries a distinct coolness, a whisper from the higher reaches of the nearby foothills, and the light, particularly in the late afternoon, possesses a luminous quality, softening the edges of the scattered farmhouses and the dark green of the grazing paddocks. The terrain is a study in subtle gradients, a landscape that invites a steady, unhurried pace, where the rustle of wind through the dry grasses and the distant bleating of sheep provide the dominant soundtrack. Here, the earth itself seems to hold a quiet patience, a testament to the enduring presence of agriculture.
The history of Collinsvale is deeply entwined with the fertile earth it inhabits, a legacy stretching back to the early colonial days when land grants encouraged farming and grazing. The local economy, while now diversified, still bears the indelible mark of these foundational industries, with many properties maintaining a focus on livestock and agricultural produce, a continuation of a long-held tradition. This enduring connection to the land fosters a particular kind of community spirit, one that values self-reliance and a deep understanding of the seasons. While not a place of grand monuments, Collinsvale possesses a distinctive charm in its quiet persistence, a living embodiment of Tasmania’s rural heritage, where the past is not so much a relic as it is a continuous thread woven through the fabric of everyday life.

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