Domain Inspection Planner - what the??

Anyone here familiar with the Inspection Planner on Domain?

For those who haven't used it, you save properties that you like and Domain will generate a list with the properties ordered by inspection time, and give you maps and instructions on how to get from one property to the next.

It usually works pretty well, but when I asked it to generate my list of open houses for tomorrow, these were the instructions the Inspection Planner gave me for how to get from 232 Wilson Street, Newtown to 12/110 Wellington Street, Waterloo.

It's a rather long set of instructions, so I've bolded the steps I found particularly interesting. (I wasn't sure how to copy part of the page, so I just copied the text). I'm not sure what's more bizarre: the fact that it gave such off the wall directions, or the fact that the directions don't actually lead to the final destination. :confused:

Very likely these are in fact Google Maps directions based on the From and To addresses supplied by Domain. If these addresses aren't specific enough you can get the right street and town but on the wrong continent.
