I'm sure some of you will have already seen this, but for those who haven't try typing in an address and then click street view! :lol:

Some streets haven't been done yet, but if yours has it's pretty cool.

Cheers,

Why's that? Not much different to a person driving past your house and having a look. (in my opinion)

The photos for my house and blocks are around 6 weeks from the look of the garden and other odds and sodds I had about at the time.

How though do they get all these photos?
Surely some geezer isnt going around taking them all?

I have seen one photo which is prior to January, so photos are definately not up to date.

They're actually taken by Google branded Holden Astras with roof mounted cameras.
