How cool is this? A map of Western Australia with all state roads marked in only 5 lines of R!

WARoads <- st_read(dsn = "data/", layer = "RoadNetworkMRWA_514", stringsAsFactors = FALSE) 
WALocalities <- st_read(dsn = "data/", layer = "WA_LOCALITY_POLYGON_shp", stringsAsFactors = FALSE) 
ggplot(WALocalities) + geom_sf() +
geom_sf(data = dplyr::filter(WARoads, network_ty == "State Road"),
colour = "red")
