Extract Australia data in a usable format from Microsoft road detections data
#!/bin/bash
# see https://github.com/microsoft/RoadDetections
# 1) get the data
wget https://usaminedroads.blob.core.windows.net/road-detections/Oceania-Full.zip
# 2) extract the records for Australia, second column of tsv only
zgrep AUS Oceania-Full.zip | cut -f2 > AUS.geojson
# 3) convert to GPKG, works better in QGIS
ogr2ogr -f GPKG Oceania_AUS.gpkg AUS.geojson

How would I run this to convert a full dataset (such as South America) without extracting a country? I played around with the command and cannot figure it out. Any help would be tremendously appreciated!!!
