Googlers pose for Street View camera

We recently announced that our Street View fleet would be back on public roads across Australia this month to capture new and better imagery of our country's beautiful cities, beaches, and dusty roads.

What better way to kick this off than to start with a little fun at our Google Australia headquarters in Sydney? This morning, about 300 Googlers in our Pyrmont office lined the park next to our office to welcome the Street View camera (and get our 15 minutes of fame). When the imagery goes up sometime next year, you'll be able to spot all kinds of props - blow-up toys, signs, exercise balls - and acrobatics - handstands and human pyramids. You may also see a few Googlers trying to catch the car on their scooters.

It's become a Google tradition to pose for our Street View cars when they drive-by our offices around the world. For this occasion, we won't blur our faces, though we normally blur faces and license plates in our Australian Street View imagery.

For a sneak peak of our Street View shots, check out the photos from our neighbours at the Sydney Morning Herald (you may spot a few of their faces too).
