Crawley Edge Boatshed - Perth

After our break creating geomodels from our tour of New Zealand we are back focussing on creating geomodels in Western Australia. And what perfect timing with South Western Australia being chosen by Lonely Planet as one of the world’s Top 10 Regions for 2010!

There are some pretty spectacular things to see and do in Western Australia, from wine tasting to world class surfing. We are working on sharing this spectacular region with the world with geomodels created for the Google Earth 3D buildings layer, so that everybody explore Western Australia in 3D on Google Earth, not just those of us that are lucky enough to live here.

And what better place to start than with the small and humble Crawley Edge Boatshed. We have crafted a beautiful geomodel of this well-recognised landmark five minutes drive from the centre of Perth which was originally constructed in the early 1930s. Enjoy the boatshed, we will be back soon with news of some exciting new geomodels of Perth we are currently working on!

Here is a photo of the Boatshed as taken by an outstanding young photographer, Lloyd Snook.  See more of his work here.

And here is the geomodel:
