[@OKFNau] Data visualisation of coal pollution in NSW for health report

Sun Mar 9 14:39:06 UTC 2014

Hi Fiona,

I don't have the time to help with implementation, but I'm happy to offer
advice on the mapping side of things when you get to that point.

As far as data goes: Check out data.gov.au, data.nsw.gov.au, and
govpond.orgif you haven't already.

Cheers,

Keith
