Back to my knitting

After a couple of forays into economic matters, I'll get back to the sort of stuff I normally do.

Below is a map (click the image for bigger version) showing the proportion of journey to work trips made by either walking or bicycle, at the time of the 2001 census. Not surprising to see the huge walk/bike mode share near the city.


Just FYI, the dark blue patch out in the north-west (near Richmond) is an army barracks, so lots of army dudes live near thhe barrackds and stroll in I guess. Same for in the south (near Holdsworthy). Other than that, its basically the CBD (incl. North Sydney) and the University of New South Wales, with Sydney's second CBD (Parramatta) also having a reasonable amount of walking and cycling.
