MC Real World Maps - Sydney 5m resolution [16k]

This map is part of the project of making real world maps in Minecraft using very high resolution geographic data, started recently with the release of Italy Map at 30m resolution and Central Europe Map at 50m resolution.  

This time the work is focused on Sydney, Australia, at a resolution of 5 meter. It means that a block in the game corresponds to 5 meters in the real world
