Aerial view...QLD devestation

If you haven't used this website before, check it out... www.nearmap.com.au   The difference between Nearmap & Google earth is Google Earth is taken from a satalite and updated every few years. Nearmap image is taken from a low flying aeroplane with a massive high res camera so you can zoom right in on your target. It also stores past pics in a database which is available in the slide bar at top of screen, giving you the option of before and after shots.

I thought I might post this as many people are looking at the damage in QLD from the recent flooding and Nearmap is the one for aerial assessment.

I'm personally in Brisbane checkin the damage and doing my bit to help as my wife and I have been directly affected and lost all but our walls in our property there. Our thoughts go to those who lost much more including life.

Luck & thoughts are with you from the WA Angling community QLD & Carnarvon.

I believe Nearmap is running out of Perth

But I may be wrong.  A mate showed it to me months ago and im pretty sure he said they were being run here.  Pretty cool to see our new house upto 3 years before we bought it:D You can see days when I am out fishing too, cause my boat is gone!
