Maps!

Hey all, lets look at maps! We've heard and read about so many different regions of Australia, I thought it'd be fun to get to know them a bit better by checking out stuff like population distribution and land use:





Here we can see basic agriculture geography. Note how intensity diminishes the further inland you look, which exemplifies the nature of Australia's interior. 





A more detailed look at land use. Grazing, Indigenous and Nature conversations, and minimal use seem to take up the most land somewhat surprisingly.







Here we see Australia's population. Created a few years ago, each dot represents 1,000 people. Areas of high population are found where climates allow for diverse agriculture.





Finally, we see a projection of land dispersion over a decade. The numbers here represent the increase or decrease of number of people per square kilometer.
