Most definitive proof it's NOT Australia: there's a *U.S.* Postal Service truck parked across the street from the bike crash.

That's definitely not Australia - we like front fences with our houses...keeps out all the riff raff, not to mention litter from your front yard.

@Steverino: Or they could do that back country road from that amazing tracking shot in Children Of Men where Clive Owen's car gets firebombed and chased by a mob and Julianne Moore gets shot in the chest... oh man, that would be hilarious.

This has Improv Everywhere written all over it. If they could just find out the location/route of the Google car, they could make some pretty funny "themed" street maps.

I propose "Everyone On Fifth Avenue Is Crying."

I wish I'd see one of these cars. Oh, the fun I could have.

@procrastinator, esq.: That's because Australia doesn't have streets, right?

Is there any chance that Google plants these (staged) things on purpose hoping that people (losers) will then spend countless hours clicking through their maps/streetviews/sat images?

*Disclaimer - I am a conspiracy theorist and believe that Goolge is in fact evil.

@procrastinator, esq.: It looks like it could be - I lived part of my childhood in Lakewood. However, 90th street is part of Cleveland, not Lakewood.

And this concludes this installment of "More Than You Wanted to Know About the Midwest. Ever."

I don't think that's in Australia (it was just reported by an Aussie blog, is all). In fact, I'm pretty sure that's an outer borough, or some other east coast city that has a "West 90th Street." Google doesn't cover Australia by street view, yet.
