Texas in Australia

I'm obsessed with google maps and the new "street view". I've looked up all my friends, all of my former houses, and looked all over random places. Google Earth is actually a great civil engineering tool as well - so it's a great way to waste time at work and make it look as though you're actually working. As it looks like i'm diligently slaving away at my desk, i'm actually hoping to get a glimpse of some random life in the streets -ie. a homeless man taking a dump, maybe some road head, someone getting pulled over and arrested, a streaker --- anything. Although I have only witnessed two out of four of these things in the street, i am sure the google street team witnessed many great and embarrassing moments... I have yet to happen upon any streakers or other nude or embarrassing moments... but have happened upon a town called Texas, New South Wales. Unfortunately the google street team hasnt made it this far yet, so i can't get a good look. But there is one photo associated with the town. Seems like Texas.





UPDATE : maybe someday i can add to this list. http://mashable.com/2007/05/31/top-15-google-street-view-sightings/
