Google Earth - Cultural heritage sites in New Zealand and Australia

Now with many more NZ sites - 64 NZ sites all up - they have been selected only from areas with high resolution photography.

The Aus section is very selective - mostly sites your editor has been to and far more in SE Queensland - because he lived there for a bit.

To view the sites you need to have downloaded Google Earth and set it up on your computer. A basic version is free: http://earth.google.com/

Then click on this - Australasian Heritage Sites 05 - it should open google Earth with the sites displayed.

Some screenshots:

UNESCO World Heritage Sites (All 788 of them!)- for Google Earth (Cultural and natural - NB some locations are quite inaccurate)
ArchAtlas on Google Earth (Mostly Middle East and many not visible)
