Yes, Google has me as Adelaide.

Different location results depending on whether I’m signed in to Google or not. Not signed in it says Ballarat when I click on Search Tools. When I am signed in it gives the name of my suburb outside of Ballarat. Typing in Indian Restaurant it list them in Ballarat.

I reckon the differences folk are reporting may be explained by whether they have ever signed in to Google, & possibly how long ago. Eg. Did Doggy last sign into Google when he was in Sydney?

Good point cuppa!

That would be very silly of a multi billion dollar company to cache their last login as there current location though.

Doggy, is that true what cuppa said?

How location is auto-detected

If you don't set your location, Google shows an approximate location based on the following things to help provide you with the most relevant results:

Your IP address.
Your Location History if you have it turned on.
Google Toolbar's My Location feature if it’s turned on.
Recent locations you’ve searched for.
