As mentioned, Brendan didn’t get the pleasure of seeing his aerial photography idea come to life but we found out about a regularly updated Australian map service that can show us a bird’s eye view of the progress of the house build.

Ah so you’re slightly further south than our current place – we’re in Piara Waters at the moment, near Forrestdale off Nicholson Road.
Did you manage to find your place on Nearmap?
