Map of Australia and Oceania

Australia and Oceania comprise a unique and expansive geographic region that includes the continent of Australia, the islands of New Zealand, and the subregions of Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia. The totality of this vast area spans across the eastern and western hemispheres and is predominantly surrounded by the Indian, Southern, and Pacific Oceans. Australia, the sixth-largest country globally, dominates the landscape with its expansive outback, coastal fringes, and varied biospheres, including rainforests, mountain ranges, and dry deserts. The iconic Great Barrier Reef, off the coast of Queensland, represents one of the planet’s largest living structures.

The region of Oceania hosts a remarkable diversity of islands, from the larger landmasses of Papua New Guinea to the tiny atolls and volcanic islands scattered across the vastness of the Pacific Ocean. These islands are often grouped into three main categories: Melanesia, to the southwest; Micronesia, to the northwest; and Polynesia, which spans a large triangle stretching from New Zealand to Hawaii and Easter Island.

In contemporary times, Australia and Oceania face challenges such as climate change, economic development, and maintaining cultural heritage in a globalised world. However, through resilience and an enduring connection to their ancient lands and seas, the regions continue to shape their own distinct identities.
