Australia Day Flyover Cool Views:As an update to my previous post, two sites have posted great roundups of some of the more interesting views found in and around Sydney on Australia Day.. My personal favorite is the folks playing water ping pong (Does anyone have real photos of this??)!

Any news about new satellite imagery from Buenos Aires, Argentina? and including maps? Brazil have maps, but Argentina does not.
Thanks!

Hi. mate. the ping pong was also recorded on a Australian Tv show 'Bondi Rescue'. But I can't find any reference to it on their website
Not only was the ping pong recorded on the TV show Bondi Rescue but the actual part captured on Google is the recording. If you look carefully on Google Maps the guy playing top left is the lifeguard from the show (blue shirt) and look closely again below and to the right of the table and you can make out the boom operator (clearly) and the cameraman. Pretty amazing that the photo was taken at that exact time.
