Data is again from OpenStreetMap overpass turbo and this is the query I used for each of the colours

[out:csv(::type, ::id, ::lat, ::lon, name)]
[timeout:120];
{{geocodeArea:Australia}}->.searchArea;(node[
name~"Red"](area.searchArea);>;);out;

I like how Red seems to be a more widespread colour than the others, and how it goes all across the center and even down into Tassie. There is unsuprisngly a big blotch of blue around the Blue Mountains. I am suprised that green isn't a more used word. Have a look at the tiny dots off the coast for each of them. I wonder what the green place is down FAR south (I'm assuming that's on some place in Antartica) and there is both a Red and Blue place on Norfolk Island, and a Red place way up somewhere in the Torres Strait.

Before this month is out I need to build a legend for these hex maps so its easy for the viewer to work out what the the intensity means. Doing three in one was maybe slighlty cheeky, but means possibly I can still get my original idea for RED done tomorrow.

As ever code can be found here
