Near map is amazing for construction
Zoom in on Top Ryde (Sydney peoples) and you can see it over a period of time from hole in the ground to completion
MUCH more up to date than Google
Imagine what it will be like in 10 or 20 years time
Certainly beats driving to Shellharbour just to see what crane access is like
It also has a sort of "view from 4 directions" button
On the down side - council will be saying "this wasnt here before" or "what happened to the tree in the back yard??"
