Another way, more difficult for most people, is to upload the kmz file to a
website somewhere, then post its URL. I'm under the impression that the method
below only works with Google Earth, but this method should work with Google
Maps too.

Hi everyone
I noticed a recent message that made it through to the list, although
it had a KMZ (Google Earth Placemark) attachment. Normally we don't
permit attachments on Birding-Aus, but I think this is one case where
it is a good idea to send one.
So if any of you use Google Earth, or other geo-tagging tools, then
please feel free to include this data in messages, especially for trip
reports covering places that might not be well-known. It's a great way
to show people EXACTLY where you made a sighting.
I'd be careful about this sort of information where there may be
species nesting or vulnerable to disturbance - please DON'T advertise
locations that might be at risk from collectors or trappers.
Otherwise, what a great way of showing people where to find birds!
