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

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 South Mount Cameron.
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.

South Mount Cameron unfurls across a landscape of rolling coastal plains, where the rich, dark earth, a gift from ancient volcanic activity, meets the restless blue of the Southern Ocean. It lies 83.6 km north-east of Launceston, TAS (from Launceston, TAS: bearing 55°T), and is situated 40.8 km east-north-east of Scottsdale. The air here carries the tang of salt and the subtle, sweet perfume of wild gorse that carpets the lower slopes of the eponymous mountain, a dormant sentinel watching over the scattered homesteads and grazing paddocks. Sunlight, particularly in the late afternoon, casts a warm, honeyed glow across the fields, softening the rugged contours of the land and painting the sky in hues of apricot and rose before the swift descent into twilight. The wind, a constant companion, whispers through the tussock grass and rustles the leaves of hardy coastal scrub, lending a wild, untamed character to the very soul of South Mount Cameron.
The history of South Mount Cameron is etched in the land’s agricultural heritage, a story of hardy pioneers who coaxed sustenance from this fertile, yet often windswept, terrain. Sheep and cattle grazing remain the lifeblood of the local economy, the wool and meat finding their way to markets far beyond these shores. Evidence of a more distant past can be found in the occasional weathered stone fence, a testament to the labour of generations who shaped this country with their hands. While not a centre of heavy industry, the quiet hum of agricultural machinery and the occasional rumble of a truck carrying produce are the dominant sounds of daily life, a steady rhythm that speaks of self-sufficiency and a deep connection to the soil. The proximity to the coast also hints at a past influenced by the sea, though the direct impact on the immediate locality is more a gentle presence than a dominant force.

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 South Mount Cameron is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
