After reading a note from "1948 Cal Willys Pickup" and being that we have members from all around the world i thought it would be interesting if we could show roughly where we live with our Willys projects.

I have started with a link to google earth satellite image of my local area and a photo of the Willys .

yep, Queensland is a big mostly dry flat state with a lot of gaps between the populations.
Miriam Vale where i live is only a very small rural town of a couple of hundred people, main industry here is beef cattle.
it is about 100km south to Bundaberg which is a fairly large regional city ( by australian standards anyway) and 70km north to Gladstone which is a rapidly expanding industrial port city that is experiancing a bit of a boom now with coal seam gas processing plants and new coal ship loaders being built.

hi Jcmjr1959,
to post a link to a map of where you live, just google seach your town name or address and when the page with list of sites comes up you can go to the top of the page and select "maps" , that should load up a local map and in the top corner of the map will be a option to go to google satellite image. once that loads up you then click on the http address at the top of your screen and copy and paste it into your message box on the forum.

thats how i do it anyway.
