Oceania

From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

Oceania is a name used in geography for the region made up by Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, and several other island nations in the surrounding area. Some people call this part of the world Australasia instead.

Sometimes people use the name Oceania to include only the Polynesian and Melanesian islands in the Pacific Ocean, as separate from "Australasia".
