Aerial images of Gorgon Project lands to stunning 5cm resolution

If you think Google Maps is pretty clever, you are going to love http://nearmap.com

These guys fly all major built-up areas of Australia every six months, with the imagery available for nix. And they have the added extra of side-looking images too.

And now the guys at Nearmap have flown the areas at threat from the massive Gorgon Project. As they said in an email update, they have "captured:
  • Pristine Barrow Island, home to the $43 billion Gorgon Project, creating the first ever 5cm resolution PhotoMap of the entire island
  • Karratha, Dampier and the Burrup Peninsula at 5cm resolution, showing in stunning detail the development across this thriving community
  • Development projects at the James Price Point Gas Precinct and Onslow's Ashburton North facility, home to the Wheatstone project, at 7.5cm resolution
  • South Hedland, Port Hedland, Roebourne, Cape Lambert and Broome at 7.5cm resolution.
The imagery isn't available online yet, but they did post these stunning images:
