Google Street View - Now Covers Australia in Detail! (18 Comments) (link)
 Tuesday, 5-August-2008  03:26:31 (GMT +10) - by aftahours

Google Street View for Australia has just been officially released, now covering most of the country. Check it out here. AUSTRALIA will today become the third country to have its cities, streets and landmarks "scanned into" Google as the search giant unveils its most ambitious Street View project to date. Google Street View is an online tool that lets users take a virtual tour of landscapes from their computer by perusing an interactive database of millions of 360-degree snapshots. The snapshots are taken by a fleet of cars fitted with special cameras that drive across the country, capturing images on every street corner and along every highway.

There is a thread in our forums discussing it here. Find your house! To use the Street View feature, zoom in on a blue road until you see the little orange man, then click on him.

Given we already have a huge list of Google Maps Australia Locations, let's start up a comprehensive list of Google Maps Street View Australia Locations as well. Feel free to add any interesting Street View links to that page.
