KML’s
The following page is dedicated to interesting KML files that I have created… Some are created via my Nokia N95, others via my Asus R2H. These are more just to show paths around Australia and some other interesting things. There is no guarantee for accuracy e.t.c as they are often raw kml and haven’t been optimised in any way shape or form…… Bookmark this page as I do expect it to grow… but first here is the start and in no particular order…. Of course you will need Google Earth to see this files…
These two may update all by themselves.

A drive all the way around Port Phillip Bay in Melbourne. This includes the ferry ride that you have to do. We drove From Melbourne, via Avalon Airport, Geelong, the Ferry, Mornington Pen and home again. Took all day, but was a very nice drive. (This trace is via my Asus R2H) - Melbourne_to_Goulburn.kmz
Last christmas we did the drive from Melbourne to Newcastle, stopping at Goulburn overnight. So this is the trip straight up the Hume Highway, including our first trip on the Albury bypass. What a godsend that bit of road is. (This trace is via my Asus R2H) - Goulburn_to_Sydney.kmz
So the next day, was the quick trip up to Sydney. Standard following the freeway into the CBD. At which point the gps started to wig out in the urban environment. (This trace is via my Asus R2H) - Newcastle_to_the_Blue_Mountains.kmz
So to break the trip up we drove via the Blue Mountains and the inland road (the Newell Highway) home. So here is Newcastle to Katoomba. (This trace is via my Asus R2H) - parkes_to_melbourne.kmz
And the last day of the trip was from the Parkes Radio Telescope back to Melbourne. Possible some of the most boring driving. Hours and hours in a straight line. But it does however give you a great sense of the country. (This trace is via my Asus R2H) - Around_Apollo_Bay_Saturday.kmz
jThe drive from Apollo Bay to the Twelve Apostels, via a place called Shelly Beach. If you have seen Dark City, you will know why I had to go and return from such a place. – Asus R2H - Drive_To_Apollo_Bay.kmz The drive from Melbourne down through Geelong, then along the Great Ocean road to Apollo Bay. (Here is what the trip looks like in 5 min) – Asus R2H
- Walk_along_Cable_Beach.kmz Here is a morning walk along Cable Beach in Broome. Was much further than it seemed as well. And you have to do the walk first thing or the humidity will get you. – Nokia SportsTracker.
- Turtle_Bay_Kayak.kmz And we did the Kayak tour as well around Gantheaume Point (these guys were good and I do recommend that if you go to Broome you do the Kayak Tour (broomeadventure) – Nokia SportsTracker.
- Willie_Creek_Pearls.kmz A trip to Broome is also not complete without a trip to Willie Creek Pearls. An interesting diversion for a few hours. You will need either take the bus tour or higher a 4wd for the day which is what we did. – Nokia SportsTracker.
- Willie_Creek_Boat_Tour.kmz And the boat tour where they point out the locations the crocodiles live. – Nokia SportsTracker.
- Camel_Ride.kmz and of course the Camel Ride….. (photos here
) – Nokia SportsTracker. - toBroomeandbackagain.kmz Showing the flight path across Australia for a Virgin Flight from Melbourne to Perth. This was done via Sports Tracker on the Nokia n95 8gb in off-line mode.
- Sydney_Melbourne_Flightpath.kmz Part of the track for a Sydney to Melbourne Qantas flight on a sunday evening. Again done in Sports Tracker.
- newcastle_sydney_via_train.kmz If you sit on the inside of the train, that is facing the other track you don’t get a signal. Sit next to the window on the outside of the train (facing the platform) and you get a great signal. Of course there are a few straight lines from the tunnels
And this is also done via Sports Tracker. - when_the_train_is_not-working.kmz And when the damn Intercity Train to Newcastle is not working for trackwork you have to take the bus…. – Nokia SportsTracker.
- when_the_train_is_not-working_2.kmz and this means both ways…. oh how I hate bus trips…. But the second trace is good to compare accuracy being on the other side of the freeway and all. – Nokia SportsTracker.
- Lake_Epaloc_and_Back.kmz A nice long day drive from Melbourne out to and around Lake Eppalock, the home again via Woodend. (This trace is via my Asus R2H)
- todonnaBuang.kmz Donna Buang is the closets snow to Melbourne at 1245m high you can drive nearly all the way to the top in winter. A bit of an hours drive away and is family friendly place to go. Plus you can stop at Warburton on the way get fish and chips and they still will be hot when you finish the drive to the top. (This trace is via my Asus R2H)
