Sydney and the river (and assuming the picture was North-orientated) was enough to find this one in about 5 minutes though.

Sure. I wasn't suggesting my image would be hard to find. Especially since my address is on my website anyway.

Oh, check out https://www.zeemaps.com
Allows groups to create maps with custom location markers.
For instance here's one https://www.zeemaps.com/map?group=1262583#
for fans of the SSSS online comic http://www.sssscomic.com/

Maybe start one for eeevblog members? You don't have to mark your exact location, just vicinity.
