Everything you need to identify Australia in GeoGuessr — from the writing system and road signs to bollard colours, utility poles, and the landscape itself.
These are the fastest visual identifiers — things you should look for in the first few seconds of a round.
Left-hand traffic — camera is on the left side of the road
Red soil and eucalyptus (gum) trees are the most distinctive landscape clues
Kangaroo, wombat, and emu warning signs on rural roads
Wooden utility poles with many cross-arms look like telephone poles from a western movie
Outback has no trees, red dirt, and road trains (very long trucks)
These details help narrow down a location once you've spotted the country — or confirm your guess when you're unsure.
Green for highways and national routes; blue for state routes; black and white for local; distance in km
Yellow center line (dashed); white edge lines
Yellow and black
Yellow bollards; some red and white
Wooden utility poles with many horizontal cross-arms
Latin (English)
Australia drives on the left side of the road. In-game, the Google camera car is on the left side — so oncoming traffic comes from the right. The steering wheel is on the right side of the car (visible in reflections). This immediately rules out most of continental Europe, the Americas, and most of Asia.
Australia is the only country that is also a continent. It has more species of venomous snakes than any other country, and the country is wider than the Moon.
