I have also the same problem. When I run "gztopic list", I can see the internal gazebo topics. But I don't know how to use them.

Gazebo and ROS use different transport mechanisms.

rostopic list will only show topics that are publish in ROS and gz topic -l will only show topics that are published in Gazebo.

Here are tutorials on how to use Gazebo's transport library: http://gazebosim.org/tutorials?cat=transport
