Something sad

Google Streetview has updated for Australia. Sadly, it is no longer possible to take a StreetView stroll down the streets of Marysville and other affected areas as they were before the 2009 bushfires. Spookily, though, the labels are still there, so you can see what B&B or local business or charming little shop used to be on some of those sites before they were devastated.

It looks like it was a beautiful day when they went through, and it's interesting to see the rebuilding process, and also sad to see how many places have not yet been rebuilt. And I suppose some may never be.

I understand that Marysville residents had asked Google to not redo Marysville, so they could remember it as it was. Looks like they didn't get their wish.
