LANDATA - HISTORIC AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY 1930S TO 1990S

To assist with mapping Victoria, aerial photography was undertaken about once a decade in many areas from the 1930s to 1992. These images provide a valuable online resource of representative coverage for use in assessing occupation, land use, environmental assessment and the pleasure of seeing your property back in the twentieth century. Historic aerial photographs may be viewed and purchased online. They may be found under Central Plan Office.

GOOGLE EARTH

This is a computer program that renders a 3D representation of Earth based primarily on satellite imagery. The program maps the Earth by superimposing satellite images, aerial photography, and GIS data onto a 3D globe, allowing users to see cities and landscapes from various angles.

Individual properties can be seen by putting property addresses into the search engine Google and clicking on the map. Clicking on the satellite image on the resultant map will bring up an image of the property.
