Google Maps + Sydney, Australia golf courses - With Google Maps going global recently the Google Maps mashups are starting to pop up everywhere! Here is one from Sydney Australia which plots where golf courses are located around the Sydney area. Also, here is a mashup of rainfall and dam catchment data as well. If you're wondering why this data is vital, here is a comment from a reader:
"Sydney is running out of water, slowly, but surely. we watch dam levels like other nations watch their interest rates. water is life, and it is even more true here, where water falling from the sky is that rarest of gifts."

you are *so* not an australian. if you were, you'd know why dam levels and catchment levels are so important. sydney is running out of water, slowly, but surely. we watch dam levels like other nations watch their interest rates. water is life, and it is even more true here, where water falling from the sky is that rarest of gifts.
Hi Mark,
:) Thanks for the pointing this out to me and please take notice of the posting once again. It's good to get the regional perspectives on why these Google Maps hacks are relevant.
Take Care,
