Unusual sights from the air

[planedriver]

There must be so many unusual sights that are best seen from the air.

 

For starters, how about Australia, just NW of the Old Bar airstrip and east of Heron Road.

 

Looks to me like it has been laid out with the aid of a GPS?

 

Post other unusual sights for all to see.

It only shows the North Island, maybe their block wasn't large enough to include the South Island?

Stage 2 will possibly be made to keep the Tasmanians happy:whisper:

Last time I went Gold Coast to Perth then on to Laverton WA it took 17.5 hrs on an RPT flight.

I've forgotten how to take a snapshot off Google Earth, but try these co-ordinates. The image is getting very hard to see as it was done many years ago now.

 

Readymix sign just North of the highway on the Nullabor Plain 32degrees 13 minutes 00 seconds South and 125 degrees 21 minutes 40 seconds East

Hi Pud,

 

In Google Earth when viewing scene, I just went to File, save image, to documents or pictures, then when you are about to post, click upload file from documents or where ever you saved it, and attach it to post and it should come up.

 

I'm no computer guru, but I hope this helps.

Another one from just south of Old Bar. It's good for a laugh when you tell the pax to spot the shark. They get frustrated when they can't see it in the water.[ATTACH]47392._xfImport[/ATTACH]

 

Cheers Scotty

It's almost impossible to spot because GE pix are taken near midday; very narrow shadows.

Thanks for your post, but I can't quite make out what we are looking at?

Sorry planedriver that is a picture of the readymix sign Pudestcon was talking about earlier in thread just thought I would post the pic.

Yep, that's it.

 

The story goes that it was created by a road construction crew, working for Readymix of course, when working on the highway.

something you dont see everyday from the air on the east coast, this between Gerroa and shoalhaven heads south of Sydney..

 

A nice tornado path right up to the top of Mt Coolangatta in the distance. fortunately no one was killed, but a few farm houses destroyed
