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

Rosebery lies cradled by the rugged embrace of Tasmania's West Coast, a landscape painted in shades of emerald and slate. It lies 97.6 km south-west of Devonport, TAS (from Devonport, TAS: bearing 225°T), and is situated 16.2 km north-east of Zeehan. Rolling hills, softened by the persistent moisture of the region, rise to meet a sky that can shift from the bruised purple of an approaching storm to a startling, luminous blue. The air itself carries a damp, earthy scent, a perfume of eucalypt and peat, tinged with the faint tang of distant ocean spray. This is a place where the land feels ancient and alive, where the creeks, swollen with rain, carve their way through dense bushland, their waters the colour of strong tea. The very character of Rosebery is etched into the contours of its valleys, a testament to the forces that shaped it, a quiet resilience in the face of wild weather.
The story of Rosebery is inextricably linked to the rich veins of mineral wealth beneath its soil, a legacy that has shaped its economy and its people for generations. Once the heart of a bustling tin mining district, the echoes of that industrious past can still be felt, a subtle hum beneath the surface of everyday life. While the intensity of those early days has mellowed, mining remains a vital pulse, with the local smelter a constant, tangible reminder of the region's enduring connection to the earth's bounty. The surrounding countryside, though marked by its industrial heritage, also offers glimpses of its pastoral beginnings, with hardy sheep grazing on surprisingly verdant pastures that climb the lower slopes. For the traveller, Rosebery offers a raw, unvarnished beauty, a place where the grandeur of nature is always in close proximity to the enduring spirit of human endeavour.

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