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 Wattle Grove.
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 Wattle Grove is a locality in the Huon Valley Council local government area of Tasmania, Australia. The locality covers an area of 4.8 km². It lies approximately 39 km southwest of Hobart.

Lower Wattle Grove rests in the embrace of rolling hills, a verdant tapestry woven with the deep greens of established orchards and the softer hues of grazing pasture. It lies 39.2 km south-west of Hobart, TAS (from Hobart, TAS: bearing 220°T), and is situated 13.9 km south-south-west of Huonville. The air here carries a perpetual scent of damp earth and the sweet perfume of ripening fruit, a subtle aroma that clings to the skin like dew. Sunlight, when it breaks through the often-clouded Tasmanian sky, possesses a unique quality, a diffused luminescence that softens the edges of the landscape and lends a quiet dignity to the weathered farmhouses and rambling stone walls. The terrain, a gentle undulation that occasionally deepens into sheltered gullies, is crisscrossed by a network of narrow, winding roads, each promising a new vista of apple trees heavy with fruit or sheep grazing contentedly.
The history of Lower Wattle Grove is deeply entwilled with the fertile soil and the enduring spirit of its settlers, who, for generations, have coaxed sustenance from this land. Originally a significant hub for apple cultivation, the orchards, though fewer in number now, still contribute to the local economy, their gnarled branches a testament to seasons past. While the boom of the apple trade has subsided, a quiet resurgence in artisanal produce, including small vineyards and boutique cideries, is breathing new life into the region. The Huon River, a constant companion, whispers tales of its past as a vital artery for timber exports, its waters now a serene backdrop for the unhurried pace of life that defines Lower Wattle Grove. The distinctive character of Lower Wattle Grove is not found in grand monuments, but in the quiet hum of agricultural life, the enduring scent of apples in the autumn air, and the enduring resilience of the land and its people.

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 Wattle Grove is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
