Yeah gEarth is good fun to play around with, I found my house, but what I found even more suprising was that I found my Aunts house, in LA! I didn't think I would be about to pinpoint it, but the US countries have street names too, so that helped out alot.

Here's my house, gotta love the trees.

you can also use maps.google.com but it doesnt zoom in as far. hehe, there is also landonline.com.au and melville's city council has a facility too (for melville area)

the melville one is good as it also covers alfred cove ( i got to see one of our houses locations before we bought it) the landonline is a great one too.

the google maps is great for looking at stealth planes in US air bases :P

All you guys sound so classy with your proper homes and the like.

All my r/c's are stolen of little kids, and I stole this laptop from a 80year old woman. I steel my electricity from a single mother of 9 who does not qualify for any centerlink payments and my food comes from the charrity bins at safeway. Just waiting for ACA or Today Tonight to rock up at my bridge....

Somme, lame joke !lmao

I was looking at area 51 today (now nerdy is that!), then I was trying to find crop circles, but couldn't find an exact location for one. Then I tried finding stonehenge but couldn't find a nice map to show me where it is.

In the US, I saw they have 3d buildings which is pretty cool.
