[talk-au] New Bing imagery?

[Sam Wilson]

I'm not sure what the best way is, but the imagery on bing.com/maps 
<https://www.bing.com/maps> appears to be the same as what's available 
in the WMS service, so it's probably quicker to check there than to fire 
up an editor. I found an edge of the high-res stuff in Dandenong South 
(would link to it but Bing maps appears not to allow permalinks). Maybe 
they publish the bounds somewhere? Maybe they're going to do more? Dunno.
