Moving to Australia

[Harrison]

I keep forgetting about Google Street View.

They announced the other week in the Chichester Observer that Google have finally completed Chichester, and there was a funny article/letter in the paper where a guy noticed the Google van was coming down his street, so he stood in his driveway and mooned it as it went by. Sadly he discovered the van later did his street again (for obvious reasons).

They did Sheffield a while back. I noticed a few months ago that the dual carriageway which goes through Wickersley was done, but now our whole area is photographed.

It has blurred out the street sign on the road where my grandparents live, as awell as an estate agents board. Perhaps it thought they were car registration plates. Also, the registration number of a car in Sheffield (someone who I know) is visible, as are the faces of several people walking along the pavement on my street.

Chichester is quite well done, although as the centre of the town is pedestrian only, you don't get to explore the actual centre streets, which is annoying. They have even done our road, but you can't quite see our house as it is down a small close and they never went down that actual close, just the main part, but you can see the drive and annoyingly a friend's car is parked there instead of ours.

Which reminds me..... A friend sent this over a while ago, and I did enjoy it.

A bit late perhaps, but I would like to say congratulations on obtaining the visas. Hope you'll enjoy Australia and all it has to offer.

Thanks mate.

Submeg - How does it stand with (illegal) downloads in Aus? Are they mega hot on trying to stop it? I torrent a fair bit, and over there would be wanting to download some good ol british TV shows.

Holy shizzle, we've been out here for over 3 months already.... Time really does fly.

Haven't had much chance to come on here either, will be aiming to pop by more frequently.

Great to hear from you. How is it going down under? Enjoying yourselves? Any great pictures to share?
