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.

Brisbane Oceania » Australia » Queensland » Brisbane

Hello, Here is your live reporter from Australia... Yesterday I travelled from Townsville to Rockhampton. While driving to Rockhampton, we could watch movies in the bus. I've seen Kangaroo Jack, lol. The movie is about a Kangaroo that runs away with a money package and these guys are in Australia when it happens. It's a silly movie, but it's fun to watch while you're actually located in Australia yourself. The drive went well, sometimes there was a lot of rain. I'm in Brisbane now, and it looks like I'm stuck here for the next 7 nights. Apparently everything is already booked [View Full Entry]

Wishing everyone a jolly Christmas and a Merry New Year from Melbourne Oceania » Australia » Victoria » Melbourne » St Kilda

Hello! I'm back where I began this trip around Australia...good old Melbourne, St Kilda, and its just as lovely as I remember, if not lovelier due to the sunshine. Summer is well on its way and its difficult to believe its Christmas in just a few days! Where to begin my update of where I've been and what I've done?...here goes an attempt to be concise - Cairns to Alice on a Greyhound, 33hours on a bus...epic, but not overly traumatic, saw a whole heap of nothingness along the way, you really ae in the middle of nowhere out there.

Whitsunday Airlie and Bowen Oceania » Australia » Queensland » Airlie Beach

Mission beach

We are now at Bowen a very nice seaside town just on the mainland from the Whitsunday islands. We are travelling down to airlie beach tomorrow for Christmas. We have booked to go over to the Whitsundays for 23rd. We hope to visit 3 islands and do a spot of snorkelling. Our trip to Dunk island when we were staying at Mission beach was great, only 4 of us on the boat and probably only a few more on the whole island. the snorkelling we did there (in stinger suits!) was a bit dissapointing as the water was a bit murky, [View Full Entry]

Preparing for my mini motorcycle adventure Oceania » Australia » Victoria » Melbourne

The bike

My little Australian mini adventure Well, fairs fair and I know this is not a real adventure. It’s not around a continent, there’s no snow and I am not likely to be eaten by wild animals, but hey, its my trip so i will call it what I want :) So, it’s pretty much Christmas and with 5 days off in a row I figured it would be silly to stay at home. But some problems exist, firstly I have a pile of stuff to study, a laptop that needs to come with me, and its a solo adventure so middle [View Full Entry]

Melbourne Oceania » Australia » Victoria » Melbourne » CBD

Ok well here I am in Melbourne, I was staying at Tims house last week, which was fun, I went kayaking and swimming in the sea and just relaxing doing nothing. I got into the city on Friday and booked inot my hostel which is very nice. That night I went out into the city for a few beers which was very fun (except for the morning after headache). I also went to the local market which was very big, which sold almost everything from fruit to UGG boots. Got a few plans this week to go to the acquarium and [View Full Entry]

Queenstown 3. uge Oceania » New Zealand » South Island » Queenstown

Mandag morgen startede en ny uge med undervisning i Kommunikation og personlig udvikling. Så tidligt op og i skole kl. 8.00. Puha det er tidligt, og kom også liidt sent op, så det endte med at jeg måtte tage morgenmaden med i skole for at nå det. Flot. Efter skole havde Cille og Tenna arrangeret pigedag/pigehygge, hvor der var lavet hjemmelavet hårkur, ansigstmasker og mulighed for massage og afspænding. Men men, jeg var lige et smut i nede i byen først sammen med Jones, og det endte med at jeg kom 2 timer for sent. Ups, og da jeg så så [View Full Entry]
