If you changed it to a more lateral view, you can see that whatever it is, it is submerged.

I'm convinced.

Didn't think of changing the angle at the time.... fantastic! There you go! Proof! An answer now required - overgrown underwater Haggis.... or Nessie? Doesn't look like a boat with tentacles to me!

So what are the green and purple stripes across the lake about? Is Nessie a suffragette?

hehe... all good in theory - but.

All photos taken by Google are from overhead. Existing topographic map elevation data is used to calculate and show height as displayed in Google Earth. Even if a boat were 50 metres high, Google Earth would display it as flat because topographically a lake (or loch) is, well, flat and would not trigger a reason for the application to show elevation, and the boat is a temporary feature probably not contained on a map....

I still reckon it's an aquatic Haggis though.

No - all I said is that it could have height, and that because it showed as flat it isn't necessarily true. I still maintain that it is unearthly in origin and must therefore be a Haggis.

And anyway? who says i dont belive in razorbacks? this is Australia, where any terrifying animal, can quite easily be a stark reality.

Maybe the mysterious object is actually Duncan doing backstroke down Lock Ness on his holiday? The sun reflecting off his highly untanned body?

Having spent most of the first twenty years of my life on boats, guess what I'm going to say that's the wash of. If I spent enough time could probably give you make, displacement (guess 4-5 tonnes), hull type (its deep vee), speed (5-6 knots), the list goes on.

How did any newsie ever publish this as Nessie, unless she's onboard driving it!
