I fluked upon what I reckon is a pretty amazing pick up on Google a little while ago. I was scanning the Northern Beaches of Sydney and saw a speck in what I thought was "in" the ocean and then zoomed in on it.
I'm not sure if you can enter co-ordinates or not but the lat/lon numbers down the bottom left of the screen are 33degrees, 48'19.10"S and 151degrees21'04.92"E
Or you can put this into Google and click on "Maps"
Great find Rex -you MUST have a lot of time on your hands. Submit it to "Google Sightseeing"

There was one in the desert near Alice, some bloke saw it on google and went out to look for it.
