Map of Oceania

The continent or region of Oceania has various definitions - with interpretations including Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, East Timor and parts of Indonesia. The name Oceania is used because it is the ocean and adjacent seas rather than a continent that link the lands together.

Oceania offers a varied landscape - with regions varying from forest to mountain range, to island paradises dotted amongst temperate waters. Due to the region's formation, the islands of Oceania hold a diverse range of animals and plants, often unique to their own island or region.


Highlights

 • The Great Walks of New Zealand
 • Uluru
 • Hike on Franz Josef or Fox Glacier
 • Extreme Sports in Queenstown, New Zealand
 • Surfing
 • The South Pacific Islands
 • Scuba Diving: Marshall Islands, Palau, Solomon Islands, The Great Barrier Reef, Poor Knights Islands
 • Gondwana Forests of New Caledonia, New Zealand and the Southwest Coast of Australia
 • Native Cultures: Aborigines of Australia, The Maori of Aotorea and the many elaborate cultures of Papua New Guinea.

So this is Christmas... I woke up with that feeling 'hmz, so this is Christmas'. Do you know that song? I think it's John Lennon's song about the end of the war. That song was in my head when I woke up. The beginning of that song sounds a bit sad when he sings: so this is christmas...I had that feeling, because when I looked outside, it was clouded and Christmas didn't feel like I thought it would be. Note to myself (and to you): don't take family events for granted and make sure you enjoy every moment you can spend [View Full Entry]

“Oh the weather outside’s delightful, But a BBQ lunch sounds frightful, We’ve got no other place to go, Let it glow let it glo, let it glow!” Wishing you all a warm festive Christmas from sunny New Plymouth, hopefully the snow has melted enough for you all to see family and stagger back from the pub! I know we are behind with our blog updates and they will follow once we come out the other side of our Xmas hang over, but for now, here is what we got up to on our Christmas Eve and Christmas day………….

After calling home (and me blubbering like a big wuss for about half an hour) we decided to have a picnic in the park. So we bought some supplies (sarnies, crisps and choc) and sat in Hyde Park near a big church which had a nativity scene and xmas tree outside. It doesn't really seem like xmas to us, just like a bank holiday or something. It's also odd because we're 11hrs ahead of UK. As there is a large Asian community here many of the shops are still open. I'm amazed about the number of people eating at Hungry Jack's [View Full Entry]

i og med at vi befinner oss på andre siden av jordkloden for øyeblikket, langt fra pappas julemiddag og mamma sine julekaker. prøvde vi så godt vi kunne og få til en jul, tilsvarede jula hjemme. blei jo ikke akkurat det samme for er ingen snø som daler ned og heller ingen tre nøtter til askepott på tv. men likevel kan vi konkluderere med at vi hadde en helt fantastisk julaften! anderledels, men SYYYK bra! på julaften stod vi opp tildlig og lagde grøt til hele huste. det vil si til 14 stk, vi har nemlig huset fult av tyskerer, finner, [View Full Entry]

Christmas Day came early in London, fitting in a family Christmas with my two brothers, David & Chris, and sister-in-law Ali, before heading off to NZ for Christmas Day with the rest of our family. Well December was feast after feast. Thanks to Kim and to Paloma and Colin for cooking us fantastic Christmas dinners early on in December. Christmas lunch club with ‘the crew’ was also a whole load of fun. Then on to hosting our own Christmas meal at home in Clarence Ave, Clapham. Chris and Ali surprised us by arriving bang on time for lunch. David’s lateness was [View Full Entry]

Friday, Dec 25th - Christmas Day Wow, it’s Christmas already. I really can’t believe this year is almost over again. I know it sounds stupid, but I feel like time is passing by faster as you get older… I must admit, I don’t feel Christmassy at all. It’s just not the same celebrating Christmas, when it’s hot outside. Plus I missed out on stuff like the Christmas markets, Christmas songs on the radio, Christmas candy and stuff. And fortunately the shops here aren’t big about Christmas songs and decoration either (as opposed to Kuala Lumpur). For me t [View Full Entry]

Christmas Eve-Eve (Wednesday) I went to my friends house for a BBQ on wednesday. We were having a pre-christmas celebration as a final get together before everyone went their seperate ways to celebrate the big day. The weather was a crazy 42 degrees so we set up camp in the garden - with a large table and plenty of chairs surrounding it. Everyone bought something to eat and drink - we ended up being 15 people or so sitting in the back garden. It mostly consisted of friends I had made whilst waitressing at the wedding a couple of weeks ago [View Full Entry]

So it's xmas eve and neither me nor Rob are feeling very christmassy especially as the cheap food from last night does not appear to have been a bargain for either of us :( Went to See A Christmas Carol in 3D this morning on a ginormous screen. It was fantastic, loved it... though it did make us both miss home. Had banana bread again for dinner. Looks like tomorrow may well be a very boring day as not much will be open.....
