Tue 5 August 2008 - I can see my house from here
As I’m sure everybody’s heard by now, Google launched Streetview for Australia today. My neighbourhood is certainly in there, as are a lot of other Australian cities and towns and regional areas.
Cool things I’ve found so far:
- Puffing Billy at Menzies Creek
- The Great Ocean Road
- It’s quiet in St Kilda.
- It’s even quiet in Chinatown
- They even took pictures of the Citylink tunnels
A few months ago, I thought I saw a Google car go past me in Glen Huntly Road. Evidently it didn’t take a picture right at that moment, as I can’t see myself anywhere in the pics along there.
In a lot of the pics it looks like summer, and there are Australian Open tennis flags up around the place. In Bentleigh the streetscape remodelling is only half complete. So I’m guessing many of the pictures were taken last summer. And in my street there are empty rubbish bins, so that would have been a Tuesday.
At least my lawn looks tidy.
Judging from the reviews,
