There's something else like that here: http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=&sll=-31.857129,115.761244&sspn=0.016767,0.025814&ie=UTF8&ll=-31.857129,115.761244&spn=0.016767,0.025814&z=16 That Coghill Street doesn't exist and hasn't ever existed (the whole of Star Swamp is preserved bushland): http://www.nearmap.com/[email protected],115.762167&ll=-31.858059,115.762167&z=17&t=h&nmd=20100801 I always wondered if it was a street added to Google Maps as a copyright-trap; if it showed up in an external database it'd be evidence of copying.
