See yourself on Google Maps on Australia Day
Author: Glenn Slaven23 Jan
Just in case someone in Sydney hasn’t seen this yet, Google will be having a plane fly low over Sydney on Australia Day (Jan 26 for those at home) taking super-high resolution photos of people celebrating. There’s a map on that page showing the area that the plane will fly in and a nifty little click-and-drag marker that shows the approximate time that the plane will be flying overhead. The x marks the spot shadow and bounce on drop is a particularly nice effect, does anyone know if that’s a standard Maps API function or something custom they’ve written?
Anyway, if you can make it into Sydney on Australia Day, do something for the camera, and once the images go live, leave a comment linking to where you were.

We tried to make a message with people, but could only manage a badly rendered “Hi” due to our state of drunkenness!

If you missed the plane, you can always be inspired by the great Australian Sam Kekovich in his address to the nation.
