+One advantage to sf data is immediately apparent, we can easily see the overall structure of the data: Australia is comprises six states and some territories.
 There are 9 distinct geographical units, so there are 9 rows in this tibble (cf. `mi_counties data` where there is one row per polygon vertex).
 
 The most important column is `geometry`, which specifies the spatial geometry for each of the states and territories.
