Mapped: Drive-in cinemas in South Australia
Adelaide's Mainline Cinema at Gepps Cross was destroyed in a fire and ram-raid overnight. As the last remaining drive-in in the city, and one of only two in the whole of South Australia (Coober Pedy is the only other), I decided to plot all known drive-in locations in SA on this map
CartoDB road deaths heatmap
What you see below is a heatmap I made using CartoDB to plot road deaths in South Australia during 2015. The map is animated to show the incidence and intensity of fatal accidents across the state through the course of the year. As you can see by the red areas, most of the accidents occurred in a concentration around the Adelaide metro area and south of the city. The map was fairly simple to produce and feeds off a spreadsheet we keep in the newsroom as fatal accidents occur during the year. I did have some difficulty getting CartoDB to properly geocode the data - I used Batch Geocode to turn the location information into lat/long co-ordinates, without success. Eventually, I upgraded my CartoDB account to a paid account giving me greater access to additional geocode options and finally I got the map working right.
South Australia’s disappearing jobs market
South Australia's economy is in trouble with companies laying off workers across the state. Just this week, Alinta energy announced plans to close two power stations at Port Augusta and a coal mine at Leigh Creek, by 2018, at a cost of more than 400 jobs. The news came on the same day as the latest unemployment figures which revealed SA’s jobless rate had hit a 14-year high. This map shows the geographic spread of the biggest most recent redundancies, which have hit a range of industries, but mostly mining, manufacturing and food production.
Food fail: Adelaide restaurant safety breaches
In April, 2015 The Sunday Mail (News Corp. SA) obtained documents under Freeom of Information laws allowing the paper to name and shame, for the first time, businesses in Adelaide fined for failing food inspections. I used the information to produce this infographic of the breaches, which is clean, easy to read and easily shareable. You can read the story here

How much to vegies cost in Melbourne?
For the past six weeks I've been working on a special project with Melbourne's The Herald Sun newspaper. When cauliflower prices soared to around $7 in Melbourne the paper covered the story but to add an extra layer of data and something visual to the article I decided to produce this simple infographic highlighting basic vegie prices at the major supermarket chains. I made the chart with Infog.ram which has become my data viz tool of choice lately.

SA Road Toll Data - Infographic
Just whipped up this nifty looking infographic using Infogr.am. The chart visualises road accident data for South Australia for the year to date. I've been aware of Infogr.am for at least three years and toyed around with it for a while but found it somewhat clunky and not as intuitive as I reckon it needs to be - especially for your average journo, like me! Recently I've noticed the tool has been getting a bit of traction on social media, so I picked it up again this week. And it's vastly improved. There are more custom templates to choose from and the tool is fast, intuitive and easy to use. There are also more charts to pick from and a new maps feature for geographic-based visualisations.

Datawrapper - The Election Donut
In the lead-up to the last SA election, on March 18, The Advertiser published a series of polls by the independent polling firm Galaxy. This blog isn't to focus on the results of the poll, or the election, which was controversial for its own reasons, but to talk about these Election Donuts I made for the first time using Datawrapper. The Election Donut is one of a number of options in Datawrapper's viz library and works in the same way as the other available charts - paste your data in, clean and label the information and visualise that sucker! As you can see here, the donuts work particularly well for elections, are easy to use and give readers a quick visual take-out on the poll. In this case, I coded the party names with the colours most commonly associated with each party- red for Labor, blue for Liberal, green for the Greens.
Petrol prices South Australia
For more than a year, advertiser.com.au has been publishing cheapest daily fuel prices for the Adelaide metro area on our Facebook page. The information is generally well received but earlier this week, I decided to ask the community if there was anything we could be doing to make the information more useful, more relevant or present it more interesting ways. On the back of that feedback, I decided to start publishing fuel prices from regional SA and produced a simple bar chart using excel to make the data a bit more interesting and easier to interpret. We'll keep tweaking and calibrating our offering in line with feedback from readers.
Shark sightings Adelaide since December 1, 2013 map

Mapping Adelaide's bursting water mains
A FEW months ago it occurred to me that barely a couple of days goes by without a new report of a burst water main somewhere in Adelaide A burst main usually always means major hassles for motorists and commuters and in some cases, when the flooding is bad enough, can mean thousands of dollars worth of damage for unlucky property owners. The recent frequency of burst water mains reports prompted us to delve deeper into the issue, to obtain data on the exact number of burst mains in the past two financial years and to present that information for readers to explore for themselves. We visualised the data in a series of maps, charts and tables which you can see, along with our story on the issue, here
What are the top intersections for bike accidents in SA? (2008-12)
advertiser.com.au recently published the location of the top intersections for casualty bicycle accidents in South Australia between 2008-2012, using data provided by Bike SA, South Australia's largest cycling organisation. As reported by The Advertiser, Bike SA is calling for every primary student in the state to receive in-school bicycle education to increase road awareness and lower fatalities on our roads.

Adelaide Fastest Selling Suburbs
This week, I worked with our Real Estate team to map the latest RP Data on the "fastest selling" suburbs for home and unit sales in Adelaide. Analysis by our reporters showed houses in Camden Park, in the city's inner west, have been selling faster than anywhere else in Adelaide, based on the number of days (41) properties have been taking to sell on average over 12 months. You can read the full report at advertiser.com.au Below, are two interactive maps I created, using the RP Data, which give readers the chance to explore the sale frequency for homes and units for their suburb.

South Australia - Crime (Current Rolling Year)
by Ben Hyde and Greg Barila BREAK-INS, graffiti and abduction and harassment offences are most common in the Sturt policing area while car and shop theft is regularly occurring around Elizabeth, statistics show. Click and zoom on the map above to explore key crimes for your local area. SA Police News' latest monthly online crime statistics, released on Tuesday, show that in the 12 months until the end of May there were 1984 serious criminal trespass offences on homes in the Sturt Local Service Area - an average of more than five a day. The serious criminal trespass category includes break-ins and home invasions. The 1984 offences was down on the 2101 recorded between June 2012 and May this year but higher than any of the other policing areas in the state. Statewide, serious criminal trespass on a residence was one of the few offences to increase, up 1 per cent on the previous year to 10,340. Scroll down to interact with crime data for your area and the whole of South Australia Serious criminal trespass offences over the past year are up in the Eastern Adelaide, Holden Hill, South Coast, Hills Fleurieu, Yorke and Mid North, Far North and Eyre and Western LSAs and down in the other six LSAs. Commissioner Gary Burns said the offence continued to be a target for police. "There has been a minor rise this year in serious criminal trespass," he said. "We are aware of this and have conducted operations in the impacted LSAs to address spikes in this offence category which has led to substantial arrests and clear-ups." "However, it's worth noting that over the last decade this crime category has almost halved." Graffiti offending was also most rife in Sturt, where there were there was 912 offences reported over the past year. Statewide, graffiti offences are down 9 per cent over the same period, to 4000. Mr Burns said a restructure of the Transit Services Branch in July last year and targeted operations had led to the decrease in graffiti offending. "There has been a strong focus at the branch on graffiti offenders and as a result, there have been some very good outcomes and arrests," he said. "Transit Police have been very proactive in working with Local Service Areas to target known offenders. More attention has also been paid to transit corridors such as train and tram routes." "The increasing prevalence of CCTV throughout the state, particularly the metropolitan area, has been invaluable in identifying graffiti offenders." Offences categorised as "abduction, harassment and other offences" were also highest in Sturt, where there were 320 over the 12 months. The Sturt Local Service Area runs from Hallett Cove and Aberfoyle Park in the south, to Mile End in the north and as far east as Leawood Gardens. The Elizabeth Local Service Area is where theft and robbery offences were most commonly reported. Over the 12 months there were 947 car theft/illegal use of a motor vehicle offences. Theft from shops (1106 offences) and aggravated robberies (177) were also most common in the Elizabeth LSA, which comprises Parafield Gardens, Salisbury and Elizabeth. Mr Burns said the Elizabeth and Sturt policing areas could be expected to have the most frequent crime as they were the most populous. "Resourcing to these LSAs is allocated to reflect both their geographical size, population and crime rates," he said. Statewide, the statistics show that total victim-reported crime was down 6 per cent over the past year.

Adelaide Corner Shops Crowdmap
I'm endlessly curious about the history of a lot of the old, ex-corner shops that still exist out there in the suburbs. I walk past the one in the picture (above, right) all the time. But how many of these shops were there in Adelaide back when corner shops were both commonplace and an important community focal point? I've decided to do a bit of research to try to piece together a picture of the number of shops in metro Adelaide - and how many are still left. I've to set up a Crowdmap deployment to let other people upload photos and any information they may have about old stores near them. I set it up so that people can point out shops/delis that still operate, stores that are closed but still exist and locations where a corner shop used to be. The exercise had a terrific response and some of the submissions made it into a double page story and spread in the Weekend Extra section of The Advertiser (below).
You can see the map here. To submit details of a shop, go here. If that's all a bit tricky, just post the details below and send me the photo and I'll add it.
