(via Simon Job) Google Maps now has maximum resolution images for Sydney.  Not just Sydney actually, here’s the Penrith Regatta Centre.  How about the Three Sisters at Katoomba.  Newcastle’s covered too, and it looks like everywhere in between is covered too!  This is a huge update.  Doesn’t goes so far south though, the high res layers seem to stop at Waterfall.

Cool things we can now see:

• The Lucas Heights Nuclear Reactor
• Looks like there’s a test match on at Telstra Stadium (Sydney Olympic Park)
• Boats at the marina at Nelson Bay

Oh and sorry, but Melbourne doesn’t have this yet.
