Photographic frenzy!
29th April, 2017
A collection of 100 maps documenting geotags has revealed that the most photographed spot in the CBD is the intersection of Swanston and Flinders streets.
The collection is called The Geotaggers World Atlas and includes maps of cities from all over the world. The album is displayed on photo sharing website, Flickr.
The maps are ordered by the total number of photos taken in the centre of each city. Melbourne took out the 29th place.
Each map is to the same scale of a square measuring just over 24km each side.
Locations were determined through the public Flickr and Picasa search functions.
Southbank was also documented as a highly photographed spot on the map.
