NOTE - Following the release of Google Earth, most of the pictures and crude zoom animations below are redundant. Using the Google Earth viewer you can see most of the colonised planet from different orientations, angles and distances via a montage of satellite and aerial photography. If you navigate to "27 Nancy Street, Cheltenham, Australia" or use the coordinates above, you should hit the following house roof. You can see the large gum trees at the rear (left) and front of the house. The white spot on the roof is the air-conditioner and the grey area around it is the roof extension with unpainted tiles.

The following illustration shows how you can easily locate Nancy Street by following familiar landmarks.

it was put back here by popular request because a lot of
people seem to think it has a funnier ending.
