Expanding Street View in Australia

Street View on Google Maps is a great way of visiting parts of Australia you've never seen before. Since it launched in Australia in August last year, travellers have been using it to check out destinations before they arrive; students have been researching geographical features and learning about cities across Australia and the world; and it become a useful tool for house-hunting.

Last week we further expanded our Street View imagery in Australia so you can visit even more cities, towns and rural areas. In particular, we've included new imagery in parts of Sydney, around Port Lincoln in South Australia, in rural New South Wales, and in many parts of Queensland including wilderness areas around the Staaten River national park, and around Taylor's Beach, Tweed Heads, and Cairns.

If your neighbourhood missed out when Street View launched, head online to check whether it appears in the latest update.

In addition to adding imagery to Australia, last week we also launched Street View on Google Maps in the UK. The UK is a favourite travel destination for Aussies, whether they're going to visit family or heading off on a working holiday, and now you can check out famous landmarks like Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament before you set off on your trip.
