That bend would be a great spot to watch when the race is on - one moment there's a road, next moment a sandpit!

You can waste large lumps of lifetime searching around on Google Earth...not that "waste" is actually an accurate term...it's fascinating and educational.

The google photos are very old. The car I got rid of in 2001 is still in the image. I keep checking back hoping they've updated it so I can get a good image of the 1:10 race track that takes up my whole backyard.

What they have is Much better aerial photography than google's, however is pretty much limited to the major citys. Can also select the date from every photo they have. Is worth a try, I'm 50km from Melbourne and my house is on their aerial loop. |

Very rarely update the photos. On street view there is a picture of my old man and his neighbour trying to break into my dads car about 3 years ago.
