Google Maps, Perth, (from space).
Same idea as the Brisbane one.
Double click on the area you want to look at, & it centres on that part of the map.
Then zoom in!
I can see one of my cats sitting on the wall in front of my house.

Cool stuff....

It wasn't the place surrounded by inhabitation but we don't know that already.
It's a pretty crap programme though so I'm just glad they didn't do one for Cairns.

I have just spent 2 hours making screen dumps of all the places I've lived, and all my friends houses I can find!! :-D
Oh yes, it doesn't take much to keep me entertained!

Re: Google Maps, Perth, (from space).
Places I've lived in the past:
Bidyadanga (2 hours south of Broome), can't zoom in as far.
Kalamunda:
Maida Vale:
Can't find Nullagine, as it's in the middle of nowhere, with no recognisable things to locate it with.
Can't zoom in very far to Bridgetown..
