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.

The Glacier Hike and Milford Sounds Oceania » New Zealand » South Island

Glacier Cave

Once we finally arrived at Franz Josef after quite a long journey with a stop en route to visit the pancake rocks (originally named; as they are rocks that look like rather unedible pancakes) we booked our full day glacier hikes. So we settled down for the night and watched a disney film 'Meet the Robinsons' (i think the Walt corporation must have been on severe hallucinogenics whilst making, but would recommend all the same - although i'm not sure everybody else in the room appreciated it as much as i did.) The next day after dressing in about 10 layers [View Full Entry]

001 Landcruiser

Mandag 7 dec. Byen Rotoura stinker - jeps, der lugter af rådne æg. Det er selvfølgelig på grund af alle de varme geotermiske kilder der er overalt i byen. Ellers sker der ikke det store i byen, men Hella havde heldigvis booket en ”4WD Volcano Safari” hjemmefra. Vi blev afhentet af Judy, en sand multitasker. Hun kunne snakke om alt fra global opvarmning til børneopdragelse, knævre i mobil, drikke vand og samtidig kaste den ældre Toyota Landcruiser op ad en gedesti for fuld skrue, så vi andre bare tumlede rund omme bagi som hamstere i en tørretumbler……….

Sounds of silence Oceania » Australia » Northern Territory » Uluru

Okay, now I didn't want to get online, because of the costs but since I have to check in online for my flight, I might as well add a blog on here. There are a few things that I need to get off my chest so here it comes (I'll start with the bad stuff). I'm stuck in a room with three guys, I came in late after the sounds of silence so I couldn't see a thing. My flashlight was somewhere in my bag, and it was too difficult to find it. Luckily I had put my PJ somewhere on [View Full Entry]

Cairns is looking good in my eyes Oceania » Australia » Queensland » Cairns » Cairns City

Cairns is slowly taking the title from the other locale's to become the top gateway to the mysterious and world-renowned Great Barrier Reef. In Cairns, one can virtually indulge in all aspects of the great reef. Take a boat and go drifting through the great expanses of coral, dive and snorkel through the blue waters of the reef and meet curious and not-so curious looking fishes and other marine inhabitants. And if you are the type of traveler to just lounge around near the beach, the white sands are sure to be an enticing invitation for some serious sunbathing. The forests [View Full Entry]

Kangaroo Island Oceania » Australia » South Australia » Kangaroo Island

Uncle Johns house

Sorry for the massive jump from Kuala Lumpur to Kangaroo Island but I have become a bit lazy with writing my blog! I left Adelaide on Thursday morning after a very enjoyable and relaxing stay with my Uncle, Jo and Amy. It was lovely to be able to relax in a house, play fetch with the kittens and play lots of games with Amy! While in Adelaide I caught up with my mountains of washing, visited the delicious local food market and made a trip to Glenelg beach to enjoy the sunshine, very cold sea and yummy fish and chips. To [View Full Entry]

Return of the long lost blog or one hit wonder? Only time will tell! Oceania » New Zealand » South Island » Christchurch

Where to start. I am living in Christchurch and have been here for 1 year and 5 days. I have not updated my blog for probably 1 year and 6 days. God I sound like I am at an AA meeting. And, actually, the wine here is good enough that alcoholic could be a serious career move! I have been watching facebook like an addict -seeing all the changes that you guys are going through. There seem to be enough children for a least a football team (I would not be at all surprised if a little league was already in [View Full Entry]

Cervantes to Jurien Bay Oceania » Australia » Western Australia » Pinnacles

RD to Jurien Bay from Cervantes

Thursday December 10th So much for the rest day that I planned to have on day 3. We decided to leave Cervantes and go to Jurien Bay. The caravan park at Cervantes was terrible with the road works inside the park and the dust was incredible, so much for all my effort with cleaning the van inside out before we left, I was left with having to wash everything again.Fortunately, we did get a refund as we had paid in advance for 10 days, we should have been told when we booked a month ago that there were to be heavy [View Full Entry]

Byron Bay is an amazing place, it is so beautiful, the beaches are crazy and white. Jason, Travis and I went with a bunch of people from my work and met some people from his work down there. There was a total of 14 of us. 10 of us had one whole dorm room rented out for just us. Where me and Jason got stuck sharing a twin size bed, lets just say that it was a horrible sleep haha. We went for one night, spent the first day on the beach, where.... the ocean ate my second camera... The currents [View Full Entry]
