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

Osterley rests in a broad valley, its landscape a tapestry of soft, rolling hills that gradually ascend towards the rugged, ancient peaks of the Central Highlands. It lies 78.3 km north-west of Hobart, TAS (from Hobart, TAS: bearing 323°T), and is situated 57.2 km north-north-west of New Norfolk. Here, the sky seems to stretch further, a vast canvas of blue that deepens to an ethereal violet at dusk, casting a gentle, almost mournful glow over the scattered sheep and the occasional solitary gum tree standing sentinel against the horizon. The air, crisp and carrying the faint, earthy scent of damp soil and eucalypt, whispers secrets of the land, a constant, quiet murmur that seeps into the very bones of the place. The terrain, a mosaic of verdant pasture and patches of darker, untamed bushland, feels both yielding and resilient, a testament to the enduring spirit of this highland country.
The story of Osterley is intrinsically linked to the rich, dark earth that has sustained its people for generations. Once a vital hub for pastoral pursuits, the land here has long been shaped by the steady hand of farmers and graziers, their endeavours reflected in the carefully managed paddocks and the sturdy, weathered fences that crisscross the valley. The local economy, though now diversified, still carries the echoes of its agricultural past, with sheep farming and prime cattle grazing remaining prominent. A small, independent spirit defines Osterley, a quiet self-reliance born from its relative isolation and the challenging, yet rewarding, environment. The occasional hum of a tractor, the distant bleating of sheep, and the slow, deliberate pace of life are the enduring rhythms of this distinctive corner of Tasmania, a place where the land itself seems to hold a deep, unspoken history.

Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while an editorially written description provides background on Osterley, in the Central Highlands 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 Osterley is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
