Google’s camera-equipped cars are driving around different parts of the globe. Now, the third country – after the US, and the Tour de France route – has been Street View enabled in Google Maps: Australia. To view these panorama photos of places like Karratha, Adelaide and Sydney, move over Australia on Google Maps and click the Street View button, and then select any of the camera icons.

[Thanks Hebbet, who spotted it at the Sydney Morning Herald.]

Update: Street View imagery for Japan is live too, as Nick D. notes in the comments! (I updated this post’s title.) [Thanks Nick!]
