Explore Shannon, Western Australia, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Shannon, WA 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 Shannon, Western Australia, 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 Western Australia or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Shannon 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 Shannon.
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.

Shannon, a scattering of dwellings and farms, lies cradled by the undulating, forested terrain of the Shire of Manjimup. It lies 139.7 km west-north-west of Albany, WA (from Albany, WA: bearing 284°T), and is situated 44.3 km south-east of Pemberton. The land here is a deep, rich loam, testament to the eucalypt forests that have stood sentinel for millennia, their immense trunks reaching towards a sky that often glows with a soft, diffused light, particularly in the late afternoon when long shadows begin to stretch across the paddocks. The air carries the subtle, resinous scent of karri and marri, a fragrance that mingles with the damp earth after a rain, giving the very atmosphere a grounding, wholesome quality that speaks of deep roots and quiet endurance. Here, the landscape is not grand or dramatic, but rather a gentle, reassuring embrace of rolling hills and sheltered valleys, a place where the natural world feels intimately close.
The history of Shannon is intrinsically linked to the timber industry that once defined much of this region, its early days marked by the felling of majestic trees and the establishment of sawmills that hummed with activity. While the large-scale logging has largely receded, the legacy remains in the cleared land now dedicated to agriculture, primarily grazing for cattle and the cultivation of some specialty crops, a quiet continuation of the land's bounty. The local economy, though modest, draws strength from this agricultural base, supported by the hardy spirit of those who have chosen to build their lives here, fostering a sense of community that is both resilient and welcoming to the occasional traveller. Shannon’s character is that of a place that has weathered change with a quiet dignity, a locality where the land's enduring presence continues to shape the lives and livelihoods of its inhabitants.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Shannon, Western Australia. 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 Shannon, in the Shire Of Manjimup local government area.
Detailed location data for Shannon includes the postcode (6262), telephone area code (08), and local government area (Shire Of Manjimup), with an ABS remoteness classification of Remote Australia. 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 Shannon is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
