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.

Radl-Abenteuer Tasmanien Oceania » Australia » Tasmania » Hobart

Die Radler

Neues aus Australien!!! Wir haben auch die letzte Schulwoche gemeistert und zum Abschluss unser Zeugnis bekommen. Zwei Tage nach Schulschluss haben wir uns nun aufgemacht, Tasmanien mit den Raedern zu erkunden. An alle Radlfreunde sei vorab gesagt. Ein echt sehr hartes Stueck Arbeit. Wir sind also gestartet, jedes Rad bepackt mit vier Taschen, zusaetzlich ein Zelt, Schlafsaecke und Isomatten. Bereits am ersten Radltag bekamen wir volle Breitseite serviert mit Wind, Regen und sehr kuehlen Temparaturen. Am ersten Tag steckt man diese Umstaende noch relativ leicht weg, aber es sollte n [View Full Entry]

What goes on in queens, stays in queens Oceania » New Zealand » South Island » Queenstown

Well, what an experience!! Queenstown has many a reputation, for either being too commerical, too touristy or a massive bubble of mayhem. Personally I found all of the above to be true. Firstly even flying in is an experience by itself. I should have guessed by the warning given by the pilot to those who have never flown in before of the flight path and terrain we would encounter. Queenstown is surrounded by mountains and Lake Wakatipi, so to clear the mountains and land, we had to do about 3, 360 downward spirals around the mountain ranges to actually get low [View Full Entry]

Dongara rannas

Luban küll suure suuga blogitada, aga nüüd on vähemalt kuu aega viimasest postitusest. Ma olen juba Perthist kaugel. Austraalia mõttes küll mitte, kõigest u 700km läbitud ja siinsete mõõtmete kohaselt on see väike kahepäevane puhkus. Praeguseks olen jõudnud Albanysse ja istun Emu Point’i nimelises külas Caravan parkis telgi ees. Kõrval on kööginurk, kus istub umbes 25 pidu pidavat vanurit. On viies detsember, eile oli sünna, nüüd olen ise ka vanur valmis. Sõitu alustasime 2. detsembril. Alguses plaanisime leida kedagi, kes sõidaks Perthist Adelaide’i mööda rannikut. Panime kuulutus [View Full Entry]

3 Simple Rules to Live By Oceania » Australia » New South Wales » Manly

So my life was going pretty well for a while, and therefore I did not update my blog during that time. I would have loved to, trust me; nothing would have made me happier. I began to write several blog entries, but they were all about my success, and happiness, two things I realize few if any of you care at all to hear about. Luckily, however, I had some inspiration when I returned to yet another night of work at the bar, and within the first hour slaving away there I felt a deluge of inspirational misery which ended [View Full Entry]

From NZ to OZ - SYDNEY Oceania » Australia » New South Wales » Sydney » Leichhardt

And so to Sydney where we dropped into Bev and Andrew’s world and it’s fair to say we hit the ground running. They live in a brilliant location that is a short bus ride from the centre of Sydney and is within half a mile of over 50 eateries of almost every nationality. We had Greek, Italian, Japanese and Thai as well as a delicious BBQYO (barbecue your own) filet mignon and a fabulous home-cooked lamb BBQ (both BBQs expertly cooked by Andrew it has to be said). Oz operates a BYO (bring your own) wine policy and bottle shops spring [View Full Entry]

Fox Fever, Milk cartoon rooms and Rainy Day Oceania » New Zealand » South Island

DSC01029

Three months to the day since we left the last days of summer in BC to come around the world to some beautiful areas. We left Oamaru on the east coast of the south island with a new found friend and decided to finally camp our way in NZ. We hopped in the little black car and headed south, within an hour and a half we were in Dunedin looking at the town, crowds and enjoying some great food before pushing on towards invercargill on the Southern tip of NZ. Gregg had to stop just outside of Oamaru to drop off [View Full Entry]

Jurien Bay Oceania » Australia » Western Australia

Marina- Jurien Bay

December 12th 09 Yesterday was a very quiet day, I did a lot of NOTHING.... and I loved it. The heat is still with us, and we are getting temperatures of about 38-39 degrees. The wind is very strong but appear to die down during the mornings however it comes back with a vengeance in the afternoons, it is not unpleasant at all and it help keep the heat down a little. Another blessing..... we have not noticed any flies......nor mosquitos..... John is enjoying "Rosie" and the footpaths in Jurien are really well designed and very safe to use. Today we [View Full Entry]

CYCLE TOUR - LONELINESS & ENDORPHIN ADDICTION Oceania » New Zealand » North Island » Wellington Region » Featherston

Hardly a Breath of Wind Down in the Valley

Nor westerly winds have been buffeting me for days - providing me with riding that has been at times exciting, frightening and simply pleasant. From Palmerston North I took something called the Pahiatua Track, which in fact is not a track but a perfectly good, steep but sealed road . On a high ridge, wind generators spun swiftly and a cold blast sent a chill through me and pushed the bike off its stand. Later the same day, I was forced to push THE BEAST OF BURDEN in places, for fear of being shunted off the road. At other times, the [View Full Entry]

Swan Bells

Day 229 - Karrinyup, Perth On one of the last Fridays in the run up to Christmas, what better activity could we find than to fill our day with a trip into the city for a bit of shopping! We must be ever so slightly deranged I think but we weren’t quite mad enough to do the trip in the car, we were at least taking the train. We both needed a hot shower this morning and then I remembered to extend our booking with the caravan park as we’d only paid up til last night! No dramas though, we booked [View Full Entry]
