Where should we send the Street View Trike?

Last Monday we unveiled the Street View Trike in Australia at Taronga Zoo, and called on Aussies to give us ideas of other great off-road places that we could visit and photograph.

The response has been huge! Thousands of ideas have been submitted, from every state and territory in Australia. And they've ranged from the innovative to the, well, perhaps impossible?

Take a look below at some of the suggestions we've received ...

Remember, the Trike likes to stay on relatively flat ground because it's very heavy, and it's 2.4 metres high and about 130cm wide.

Where do you think we should go? Get your nominations in by Monday 8 February, and then get ready to vote from February 15 to help us decide where to send the Trike next.
