Google Maps Street View Launch in Australia

Written on August 6, 2008 – 12:58 pm | by Duncan |

Google have just launched Street View in Australia. Some time ago Google paid for someone or someones to drive a car around the streets of Australia with a camera on the roof, capturing shots of urban life for posterity.

I managed to find my workplace very quickly. Type in 48 Bayliss Street, Auchenflower and you’ll be out on the street looking at the house my employers converted into an office. I took a look at my home and saw that indeed my son’s car was parked outside. An orange cone narrowed down the time during in which the photograph was taken.
