Default Just got "Google'd" in Brisbane

Having lunch and the Google Streetview car drives in, around and out of the carpark! So, when you Steetview Brisbane in the future (whenever they upload the photo's), have a look at Willy's cavey in Murarrie and I'll be waving back!

Be on the lookout for a small car with a mast on top something like this with Google written on the side.

Have a look on Google Maps in the US - go to Las Vegas - click on the Street View button on the top right (next to the Map/Satellite/Hybrid buttons). This adds a blue 'path' to the streets. Click on the blue line and it open a window with the view at that point at street level. You can now pan 360, look up and down and zoom as if you were standing on the street. You can even walk down the line as if you were walking down the road. They are now doing this in other countries by driving a car around with cameras and a GPS taking images for this. This is what I saw in Brisbane. They are also in Adelaide and Canberra too.
