The AUSubaru.com.au Forums

After seeing Paul's post in the Pics and Videos forum, I got to thinking (never a good thing!).

Cool places to see on Google Earth. I don't just mean "Hey I can see my house from up here!!"

I'll start (just cut and past the coordinates into the "find" box):
Wreck of the USS Arizona, Pearl Harbour. 21 21'53 N, 157 57'00 W

That looks pretty cool from space!

I've got a few to show...

90 Acres
32 13'20 S, 115 51'21 E

Kwinana Offroad Area
32 13'40 S, 115 47'34 E

Gooroolong National Park camping area (aka Jarrahdale)
32 20'17 S, 116 02'33 E


And of course there's my favourite offroad spot:
Area 51
37 14'18 N, 115 48'46 W


EDIT: Someone also found a "floating car" in Perth somewhere a while back, can't seem to find it but I think its around Salter Point somewhere....

Dunno how interesting it is for you guys, but this is where I like to fish most...

It's Split Solitary Island as part of the Solitary Islands group to the north of Coffs Harbour

If you change the N to an S you end up in..... well in the ocean out past Rottnest Island...

I think this is Lancelin, although someone will no doubt pull me up on it:

You know that runway in Area 51 (is it 32L?) is over 7 km long. The runway where the space-shuttle lands in Cape Canaveral is only 3 km long.

I thought flying saucers were VTO (vertical take off)?

-Airplane graveyard near Tucson. Looks good from space.

If all goes to plan I will be fishing here at this time next year. The crab pots will be a little further upstream.

Can anyone tell me why they don't build these off Australian rivers???

33°57'41.96 N, 118°27'37.99 W would save lives off bars, and can't see it doing *much* ecological damage

32°49'30.41 S, 151°53'45.87 E

And of course, those crazy Arabs
25° 6'54.26 N, 55° 8'22.07 E

The Suez Canal - it's awesome, especially the 3.5km long breakwall leading it to the Mediterranean Sea
31°16'19.11 N, 32°19'12.56 E

world landmarks are an odd thing when viewed from above. do you think i could find the eiffel tower ? i was staring right at it from above and couldna see it !

A word of warning to those that over do the google earth thing - find and practice some good stretches for the ulnar nerve - it cops a hiding the way most of us grab and steer the little mouse. Anti inflammatory drugs and topicals are good, as is ice pack !!

oops obviously typed in the wrong directions. for the record i was looking at lancelin when i typed em in. not much to look at anyway
