Well you know what you'll have to do to combat these temps....
Crack out the Knit Wit & the Doodle Loom and fashion yourself a toasty afghan

When I lived up Nambucca way I used to think it was cold there!

"Cold, you don't know what cold is." This is a saying you regularly hear Goulburn locals say!

I don't think I'd be allowed to get onto the bus wearing one of those

You don't know till you try

and remember....

The finished craft project will be an elegant piece of work that is exploding with vibrant colors that you created.

minigolf · Jul 22nd, 2005, 01:20 AM

I thought for sure I'd better by -1.5°C pic from the other day ... but no, just equalled it.

Lucky we're not doing this in the Subie, the wretched thing doesn't seem to want to go below 6°C!

Exploding being the operative word

Funny you should mention that cause one of the girls I work with was literally just saying that she doesn’t think she’s seen below 0 in her Impreza

Was just playing around with the beta version of Google Maps and thought I'd have a look at the coverage for Canberra. Man is this thing good

. Check out this link which should stir some memories from the recent Pirates visit to Canberra (remember the location for the group shots?).

minigolf · Jul 22nd, 2005, 03:20 AM

Good find Bryan.

Follow this link and you'll see a corner with a little blue MINI zipping around it.

minigolf · Jul 22nd, 2005, 03:48 AM

Couldon't get the link to work in my previous post, but this is so cool. I just traced the path of Brindabella Road, it's so awesome to be able to see these roads from above like this, and everything else, I'll be checking this out for ages!

minigolf · Jul 22nd, 2005, 03:54 AM

Sorry, more map talk, but how freaky is to be able to get an aerial pic of your own house in such relative detail!

Guran · Jul 22nd, 2005, 04:08 AM

Great stuff eh? To get the links to work, you need to first click on the "Link to this page" in the top-right corner, copy the URL from the address bar and then paste that into your message.

I haven't tried it yet, but check out Google Earth too. It seems like it has similar capability with lots more functionality built in.

AndrewH · Jul 22nd, 2005, 04:09 AM

Yeah, I can finally see where we went that day we drove all those dirt roads!!!

It's a very cool site!

My car is probably one of the ones parked on top of the Canberra Centre car park too

Looks like it was taken in the summer of 2003-04

Thanks Bryan, here is the corner I was talking about, under the bridge.

http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=-35.2...74&t=k&hl= en

This one is pretty good too! Haha, on the southbound lane is where DSC first paid for itself after it saved a lift off oversteer moment that I had only worked out after DSC had saved my bacon.

You still looking at that!

gazah · Jul 22nd, 2005, 04:53 AM

& for all those that wanted to know where PITS was, & what exactly 'Sector 1' is...

HERE!

minigolf · Jul 22nd, 2005, 04:55 AM

Cool, the approach to our old house, with the 4 roundabouts to nicely intersect the gentle sweepers.

AndrewH · Jul 22nd, 2005, 04:59 AM

Pity the resolution fades out before PITS

Man, IT managers are going to hate this site - I reckon I've probably already looked at about 200 meg worth of satellite photos today
