Nearmap (birds eye view of suburbs) - Australia
Hi All I live in Perth and although most of you are aware of Google there is a website called www.nearmap.com which is high resolution. It gives such clear detail on suburbs etc, so if you are at a stage of looking at potential areas you can have a look at the suburb for yourselves before you get here.
Hope this helps

My computer keeps shutting internet explorer each time I try and use it, it recovers the page, I type in the address and then it shuts it again.

I really must get busy cleaning the rest of the debris off the front lawn and get it finished. Can't be showing anyone our place when it looks so crap.

You can actually go back in time by using the functionality in the top-right corner.
Most recent pic for my area is 31st December. But there's about 6 versions from last year.

I know theres probably quiet a few people who perhaps are getting a house built while being overseas, good way of keeping track that its got a roof on it by the time you get here!
