Great talk at #MalariaInMelbourne2025 from Dr Gerry Ryan at the Kids Institute on the amazing Vector Atlas! Keen to see it live on the map website.

I think it's safe to say he nailed the crux of why we're meeting today!

Have you ever been transfixed by the colour palette of the Melbourne tram network?

Well I have... so I made a package called {melbourne}! So far it includes a colour palette called "melb_trams()". More to come, stay tuned!
