Actually Google should be the same as local street directories since that is where they get there data from. I live in Australia (hi, neighbour) and it is Sensis (Yellow/White Pages) who supply data to Google.

As for quality of maps it is about 80% as good as Google and has been getting noticeably better over time.

I was under the impression that Google has their own places product, so I suspect they combine several sources.
AFAIK they maintain that by buying a lot of commercial place data.
Haven't the street view cars been down under yet?
