Not sure when this happened, but yay! It appears you need to bung an ‘Australia’ on the end of most searches for it to work though, which explains why I haven’t noticed it working ’cause I didn’t ever do that – I just figured that if the map was already in Australia it would assume I wanted to stay there. Example. You still can’t get directions happening yet.

Jamie has noticed this too, and if you want to go throw eggs at his house, well, now you can.

I hope full support arrives soon.

Finally, Google has rolled out street level data for Australia.
