I received such a nice email with the latest Google Earth technology showing me where my friends live in Australia.  Since I just figured out how to open it on my computer I selected the google earth view online and you can see the link in the clip from the email.  
Email-
Here is a Google map of where we live, hope it works ok.  It has some  yellow thumbtacks of our house(s) & places of work & play etc.   Our house is in Sans Souci which is at the back of Botany Bay (where  Captain Cook discovered Australia over 200 yrs ago) and it takes about  10-15mins to drive to the airport and 20mins by train or car into the  City.  I thumbtacked my studio in Gymea, which is about 12 mins drive  south west over the St George River into the well known "Sutherland  Shire" famous for it's very relaxed and alternative hippies (which is of  course where I originated from in Sylvania heeeheee).  When we move out  of this little house we're minding for Grant's mum we'll move back over  the river into the Shire somewhere, although I'd love to talk Grant  into moving into our house down the coast in Woonona near Wollongong, it's only  about 35mins drive from my studio through the national park - a really  nice drive actually and Wollongong is a fairly busy 'little city'.  We  spend a lot of time at the beach at Cronulla, and in the National Park  (near Sutherland on the map - there's some nice little pictures you can  click on) we do lots of bushwalking which we intend to do next weekend  and I'll take some snaps to send you guys.
If you come out to Australia I think you'll love  Sydney city, it's like San Francisco, very beautiful and friendly  people.  I'd love to take you out to our Blue Mountains (Katoomba &  Leura) which is extra special for sightseeing and bushwalking and aussie  history etc.  And if you're heading for Brisbane also I'll make sure  you visit Noosa on the Sunshine Coast (where my Dad lives and quite a  few Heart 30 Aussies too ie Fiona, Matt, Allana, Sharna).  Two other  musts on a visit are Ayers Rock & Kings Canyon - right in the  middle, and Cairns for the Great Barrier Reef way up northeast coast.   They're both each about a 4hr flight from Sydney and a long way from  much else, but really worth the trip.
I  hope you do come out to Aus sometime, we'd love to show you around.
