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 Strathgordon, 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 Strathgordon.
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.

Strathgordon lies at the foot of Tasmania's wild western highlands, a place where the earth seems to breathe deeply of ancient forests and the sky stretches in vast, untroubled blue. It lies 105.2 km west of Hobart, TAS (from Hobart, TAS: bearing 277°T), and is situated 78.8 km west-north-west of Geeveston. Here, the Derwent River, a ribbon of cool, clear water, begins its journey, fed by the glacial lakes that punctuate the rugged terrain. The landscape is a symphony of muted greens and greys, with granite outcrops standing sentinel against the persistent wind that whispers through the eucalyptus. Even the air carries a unique clarity, sharp and invigorating, a constant reminder of the untamed wilderness that presses in on all sides. The very character of Strathgordon is one of quiet endurance, a settlement that has found its place in a land that demands respect.
The story of Strathgordon is intrinsically linked to the harnessing of Tasmania's powerful waterways, a chapter written in concrete and engineering ambition. This remote settlement owes its existence largely to the ambitious hydroelectric schemes that dot the surrounding mountains, transforming the raw power of the rivers into a vital energy source for the island. The local economy, though small, is deeply connected to this infrastructure, with a workforce often involved in the operation and maintenance of the dams and power stations. Beyond the hum of industry, the region offers a profound connection to nature, drawing those who seek the solace of the wild, the thrill of trekking through ancient rainforests, or the quiet contemplation found by the shores of the man-made lakes, now themselves becoming wild again.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Strathgordon, 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 Strathgordon, in the Derwent Valley 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 Strathgordon is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
