Google Street View hits Shepparton

After spotting the Google Street View car in Shepparton about 7 months ago, the surprisingly-complete photos of our local streets are now online.

I'm not quite sure when this happened. Australia may have been all switched on at the same time to coincide with Google Maps UI's recent redesign or it may have been a gradual thing implemented over the past few months, but I think it's all kinds of cool.

Privacy issues aside, I think this is a great tool as well as an awesome toy. I wonder how often Google plan on updating the street photography.
