Waverley sits inside Tasmania, Australia and ranks #98 of 185 cities in Tasmania by population. Every distance on this page is a straight-line Great Circle (haversine) measurement — the shortest path a plane or signal would take between two GPS points, not the longer road-and-turns route a driver would actually cover. View the nearby cities, nearby states or nearby countries tables above.
Scroll down and this page also ranks the states closest to Waverley and the countries closest to Waverley by the same straight-line measurement. For the complete national picture, see every country bordering or near Australia. Handy for cross-border import/export planning, scouting a new travel corridor or lining up emergency logistics across Australia And Oceania.
Next to every distance sits a compass heading from Waverley, plotted on the 16-point rose (N, NNE, NE, ENE, E, ESE, SE, SSE, S, SSW, SW, WSW, W, WNW, NW, NNW). The rotating arrow marks the bearing angle (0°–360°, where 0°/360° is due north) — see it in action in the cities, states and countries tables above. It's the same reference pilots, sailors and long-haul truckers use to picture the layout around Waverley at a glance.
