Street View Australia
Australian coverage is a study in extremes. The cities are as complete as anywhere in the world and the distances between them are covered by roads with nothing on either side for hours.
City guides
1 written guide for Australia, each with the streets worth walking and the views worth opening.
What the coverage is like
Street View reached Australia in 2008, one of the earliest countries after the United States.
Major highways are driven in full, including the Nullarbor, where the imagery is the same view for a very long time and that is the point of it.
A lot of the outback road network is unsealed and covered anyway. Coverage is better than the population density would ever suggest.
Reef and coastal imagery includes underwater captures at the Great Barrier Reef, which use a different rig entirely.
Worth opening beyond the city guides
The Great Ocean Road, where the Twelve Apostles are visible from the road itself.
The Nullarbor Plain, and specifically the 146-kilometre straight, which is the longest dead-straight stretch of road in the world.
Uluru, captured on the road around the base rather than only from the viewing areas.
The Great Barrier Reef underwater imagery, which is Street View in name and something else entirely in practice.
Places to open
4 locations in Australia, each one a single click into Street View at the right spot and facing the right way.
Questions about Street View in Australia
Is the Australian outback covered by Street View?
More of it than you would expect, including unsealed roads. The main highways are complete, and a lot of secondary routes were driven despite there being nothing along them.
