Re: Google maps Australia
Actually, whilst we're on the subject - is there an Australian route map? I wanted to do one from the airport to Ocean Reef

Mapquest is also very very good and Mac compatible!

I just found where my mum and dad live in Australia!
They seem closer now after looking at the Google map..... it doesn't seem like a lifetime ago since I saw them last anymore
Thank you for a fantastic link

So if you're wanting a street level map of Bowral, try this search:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=e...Australia&om=1
You need to specify Australia as part of your search else those pesky Americans think you're in the USofA.
eg. Woop Woop, Australia

I don't know when the images were taken, the google earth website says that they cannot tell you either as there are so many images stitched togather to give you the full picture.
Can you tell from looking at the cars? Or the fashions? Any bell bottoms out there?

I can tell because we cut down approx 40 trees from property - but they still appear on the image
