Google Sightseeing takes you on tour of the world as seen from satellite, using the free Google Earth program, or Google Maps in your web browser. Each weekday your guides James and Alex present new weird and wonderful sights as suggested by readers.
A factory just south if the Brisbane River in Queensland displays ‘Colly Farms Cotton‘. I’m presuming they’re spinning cotton in there, despite Colly Cotton being “solely a marketing company” since its absorbtion by the Twynam agricultural group.
Of course, where there’s large type there’s almost always a nearby airport.

No mate, it´s a warehouse. There´s no cotton spinning in Australia. Perhaps when they put “solely a marketing (trading) company” it was true…???
