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 Emu Heights, 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 Emu Heights.
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.

Emu Heights rests against the rolling hills that spill towards the western coastline, a place where the scent of damp earth mingles with the salt tang carried on the breeze. It lies 37.2 km west-north-west of Devonport, TAS (from Devonport, TAS: bearing 287°T), and is situated 2.7 km south-south-east of Burnie. The landscape here is a study in muted greens and earthy browns, the undulating terrain broken by stands of eucalypts whose silver-grey leaves rustle like dry whispers. Sheep, their wool a soft punctuation mark against the land, dot the paddocks, their quiet presence a constant rhythm in the open air. The light often possesses a luminous quality, especially in the late afternoon, when it softens the edges of the hills and casts long, languid shadows that stretch towards the sea.
The story of Emu Heights is one of quiet resilience and adaptation, its roots tracing back to the early days of Tasmanian settlement where farming and grazing formed the backbone of its existence. While not a bustling hub, the local economy here has historically been sustained by the fertile soil, a legacy that continues to shape the character of the area. Neighbouring agricultural enterprises still thrive, their produce finding its way to local markets and beyond, a testament to the enduring connection between the people and the land. There are no grand monuments or famous institutions here, but a distinct sense of place, a quiet understanding held by those who call Emu Heights home, a recognition of the simple, profound beauty of their surroundings.

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 Emu Heights is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
