Yea New Zealand! in the continent of australia!

Australia is a country.

Australia is just one country, with about six states and two territories. The little island to the south of Australia is called Tasmania and is, technically, a part of Austrailia. It has a number of members in the Federal Parliament in Canberra, for innstance. However, I visited there in about 1975 and I found the island lked to think of itself as a separate nation.

You should try travelling to Melbourne, the Capital of the State of Victoria. Melbourne is a gaint city and will soon overtake Sydney as Australia’s largest.

ive always wanted to live in Australia its my dream to go there :)

Yes. The Australian continent consists of Australia, Papua New Guinea, Timor Leste and some parts of Indonesia. It does NOT include New Zealand. New Zealand is actually on a sumerged continent called Zealandia. Australia and New Zealand are both part of a region called Oceania, along with numerous other pacific islands of Polynesia, Melanesia and Micronesia.

no, its not

wow, that was atrocious spelling sorry. I meant submerged!

Tasmania, I’m going there in Feb 2010 for 2 weeks. Heading straight into Launceston and doing the motorhome thing.

wait what?!!!

New Zealand is part of the region of Oceania (also known as Australasia) but its actually on a different continent which is submerged so no one knows about it!

australia isnt a continent, australazia is a continent!

Australia is a continent, Australasia is not, it is a region

Technically, Australia is the largest island in the world. Many people do not associate Australia as an island but a country. We are also part of Asia. Dianelle is right, Australia belong to Australasia.

Um… NZ is it’s own country and FYI it’s offending to Aussies to sociate it with Australia

Antarctica is just a continent made of ice

He wasnt saying it was part of the country, Australia, he was saying it was part of the continent Australia which is a fairly common misconception, so its hardly offensive. And considering we are your closest neighbour, our countries ARE associated, so grow up.

They may be associated but they are not apart of the continent. You just don’t like people expressing their opinions on your country. Looks like you’re the one who needs to grow up :)
