Oceania (sometimes Oceanica) is a geographical, often geopolitical, region consisting of numerous lands—mostly islands in the Pacific Ocean and vicinity. The term "Oceania" was coined in 1831 by French explorer Dumont d'Urville. The term is used today in many languages to denote a continent comprising Australia and proximate Pacific islands, and is one of eight terrestrial ecozones.

The boundaries of Oceania are defined in a number of ways. Most definitions recognize parts of Australasia such as Australia, New Zealand, and New Guinea, and part of Maritime Southeast Asia as being parts of Oceania. Ethnologically, the islands that are included in Oceania are divided into the subregions of Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia.

Hey! So we took our first Kiwi Experience bus yesterday (Thursday). Had to be up really early to get the bus at 7 so pretty much slept on the bus all the way up because Amie and myself had been to see.

Why do people refer to Australia, Indonesia, and New Zealand as Oceania?
Q. Oceania is not a continent, because Indonesia is part of Asia and New Zealand is part of Australia (at least I think so).
Asked by Miss Shelley =) - Tue Jul 21 15:17:03 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Oceania is not a continent but a REGION. So Oceania (when referring to it as a region- consists of the continent of Australia, Polynesia, Melanesia, Micronesia, New Guinea, and New Zealand. e.g. Hawaii is not part of the continent of North America, but is included in the REGION of North America. Geography is meant to be confusing
