Explore Lower Barrington, Tasmania, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Lower Barrington, 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 Lower Barrington, 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 Lower Barrington.
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.

Lower Barrington rests in a valley cupped by the gently rising, deeply forested slopes of Tasmania’s north. It lies 13.7 km south-south-west of Devonport, TAS (from Devonport, TAS: bearing 202°T), and is situated 14.9 km south-south-east of Ulverstone. The air here, particularly in the early morning, carries a damp, earthy perfume, a blend of rich soil, the cool breath of the nearby river, and the subtle, sweet scent of eucalypt. The landscape is a patchwork quilt of verdant pastures, delineated by old, moss-covered stone walls and weathered fences, where Friesian cattle graze placidly, their dark hides stark against the emerald green. The Meander River, a generous artery of the region, winds its way through the valley floor, its waters a shifting canvas of grey and silver, reflecting the vast, often dramatic, Tasmanian sky above. Beyond the farmland, the land climbs, transitioning into dense stands of native bush, where the dappled sunlight filters through the canopy, illuminating the undergrowth with an almost ethereal glow.
This is a place where the echoes of early settlement are still palpable, where the land has been shaped by generations of farmers and graziers since the mid-1800s. The local economy, deeply rooted in agriculture, continues to thrive on the fertile plains, with dairy farming forming the backbone, supplying milk and cream to the wider region. There's a quiet sense of industry, a steady hum beneath the surface of the tranquil surroundings, as tractors traverse the paddocks and the rhythm of rural life unfolds. Visitors might find themselves drawn to the nearby historical sites, remnants of a pioneering spirit, or simply to the profound peace that settles over Lower Barrington as dusk paints the sky in hues of lavender and rose, a quiet beauty that speaks of endurance and a deep connection to the land.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Lower Barrington, 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 Lower Barrington, in the Kentish Council local government area.
Detailed location data for Lower Barrington includes the postcode (7306), telephone area code (03), and local government area (Kentish Council), 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 Lower Barrington is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
