Di<p>One mangrove tree can remove 0.3 tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere over its growth life. Mangrove forests can hold nearly 400 tonnes of CO2 per hectare in their living biomass and in the top metre of soil.</p><p>They're also cost effective to grow and maintain, so long as our communities continue to take care of them.</p><p><a href="https://bne.social/tags/30DayChartChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>30DayChartChallenge</span></a></p>
Di<p>The Parkes Observatory is national heritage listed in Australia. Apparently "Australia was an international leader in the ground-breaking field of radio astronomy research in the post-World War II period".</p><p>It may have even helped CSIRO invent wifi!</p><p><a href="https://bne.social/tags/30DayChartChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>30DayChartChallenge</span></a> <a href="https://bne.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a></p>
Di<p>People aged 65-74 recorded Digital Inclusion Index Scores 12.1 points below the national average, while those<br>over 75 recorded scores 24.6 points below. For people over the age of 75, the Digital Ability component was a dramatic 41.6 points below the national average.</p><p>Public libraries around Australia run "digital inclusion" sessions.

Di<p>I'm delighted to learn that the Queensland government measures the height and direction of waves along the coast.</p><p>They use it for things like planning construction, investigating erosion, emergency services during cyclone season, global wave monitoring and so on.</p><p>You can use it to plan surfing, fishing, and the like!</p><p><a href="https://www.qld.gov.au/waves" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">qld.gov.au/waves</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://bne.social/tags/30DayChartChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>30DayChartChallenge</span></a> <a href="https://bne.social/tags/Queensland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Queensland</span></a> <a href="https://bne.social/tags/waves" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>waves</span></a></p>
Di<p>Apparently grey/charcoal/black shades of cars are less likely to be seen on the road and thus involved in more crashes.</p><p><a href="https://bne.social/tags/30DayChartChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>30DayChartChallenge</span></a></p>
Di<p>I've seen a common tree snake chase a lizard, whip snakes mating, and pythons fighting.

Di<p>To help stamp out trachoma, you can donate to Fred Hollows Foundation to treat it directly or donate to a charity that helps communities emerge from poverty and break the cycle of infection and re-infection.</p><p><a href="https://bne.social/tags/30DayChartChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>30DayChartChallenge</span></a></p>

Di<p>Down under, you can use the Southern Cross to tell time and direction.</p><p>Aboriginal Australians are among the world's first astronomers.

Di<p>One thing I enjoy about this social media chart challenge is that I can sneak in silly choices I wouldn't usually make.</p><p>Behold my gradient, lack of data point circles, and use of curvy lines!</p><p>I also don't have to spend time making it work at a bajillion screen sizes and ratios.</p><p><a href="https://bne.social/tags/30DayChartChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>30DayChartChallenge</span></a></p>
Di<p>I went on a lot of side quests in pursuit of a more complex and interesting chart than this but they mostly didn't pan out. Here's a simpler but shinier visualisation instead.</p><p>According to the ABS, lots of Aussie businesses cease trading in the December quarter each year.</p><p><a href="https://bne.social/tags/30DayChartChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>30DayChartChallenge</span></a></p>
Di<p>Given the year we've had, I don't have high hopes that Australia's press freedom index ranking will improve next month.

Di<p>The Green Catbird's genus name is Ailuroedus, from the Greek for "cat-singer" or "cat-voiced".</p><p>Instead of "Good morning", it says, "heeeir-Ieee-aaa-aarr!"</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Green_catbird_call.wav" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gre</span><span class="invisible">en_catbird_call.wav</span></a></p><p><a href="https://bne.social/tags/30DayChartChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>30DayChartChallenge</span></a> <a href="https://bne.social/tags/BirdsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BirdsOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://bne.social/tags/birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>birds</span></a> <a href="https://bne.social/tags/CatBird" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CatBird</span></a></p>

Sam Van Horne, Ph.D.<p>For day 1 of <a href="https://vis.social/tags/30DayChartChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>30DayChartChallenge</span></a>, I made a quick waffle chart in <a href="https://vis.social/tags/rstats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rstats</span></a> from open data about automobile crashes in Delaware.

Di<p>The meaning of "mateship" can be positive or a bit spicy and has changed over time.
