Default See your house from the sky

There's a new web site available that gives you a a good picture of your house or residents but it's only available in Melbourne and Canberra at this stage.
www.city2see.com
Just put your details in such as your house number and street name plus the suburb you live in,you'll be amazed at the quality of your home in the metropolitan area.
There was an article in todays Sunday paper.
Cheers John

That is so cool. It works too! The pictures are at least 2 years old though, we did my mums new area and some houses that were built 2 years ago are not on the pictures.

I think that some pics obviously vary in age,i noticed that my pic is fairly new as the Honda CRV is in the driveway and i've only had that for 6 months.

I agree. The pic is definatley taken before this summer. My neighbour had his evap cooling installed about 10 months ago and the house 3 doors up was only finished in the last 8 months. That is there. Houese behind him arn't built. My bet is april last year.

What the. Whos that Bloke at my front door giving my mrs a kiss!!!!!!! :hihi:

You need to go to get the Java.

I looked at the photos of 1998 and now of 2004. Interesting thing is that when we bought our land it was all cleared, and out the front entering where my driveway is now, is some white lines. We could never work out why there was a while line leaving the road an entering our driveway. Just looked like an intersection or an old road. Checking the 98 photo, it shows that white line leading into a small parking area where my block now is. At the end of that parking area is a dirt track which heads of to the hills behind my place. Looks like my block used to be a parking area for guys going cross country on their motorbikes. :

Hmmm....all I get is a grey screen where the picture should be. I have Java, but maybe it isn't a new enough version.
