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

It lies approximately 433 km northwest of Hobart. Nugara is located at 39.9540°S, 143.9103°E. It observes Australian Eastern Time (AEST/AEDT). Postcode: 7256. The Australian Bureau of Statistics classifies the area as Very Remote Australia.
Nugara lies at the western edge of King Island, a place where the land seems to exhale a breath of pure, salty air. It lies 204.5 km south of Geelong, VIC (from Geelong, VIC: bearing 191°T), and is situated 6.3 km south-east of Currie. The terrain here is a subtle mosaic of rolling pastures, a verdant green that deepens with the approaching rain, punctuated by stands of wind-scoured trees that lean in unison, their branches etched against a vast, often dramatic sky. The light, particularly in the late afternoon, has a luminous quality, softening the edges of the landscape and casting long, gentle shadows that stretch across the sheep-dotted fields. The coastline itself is a rugged embrace of granite outcrops and the ceaseless, rhythmic pulse of the Southern Ocean, its waves a constant, low murmur that permeates the very atmosphere.
The story of Nugara is inextricably linked to the island's agricultural heartbeat, a legacy of hardy settlers who coaxed sustenance from this windswept soil. For generations, sheep grazing has been the cornerstone of the local economy, the wool a soft testament to the island's rich pastures. More recently, a burgeoning cheese industry has added a creamy, artisanal layer to Nugara's character, drawing discerning palates to its shores. The island's isolation has fostered a distinct sense of self-reliance and a neighbourly spirit, where conversations often begin with the weather and the condition of the paddocks. Scattered farmhouses, their corrugated iron roofs gleaming faintly in the sun, are the only punctuation marks in this broad sweep of rural life, each a small beacon of human endeavour against the immensity of the ocean and the sky.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Nugara, 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 Nugara, in the King Island Council local government area.

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