Lol yeah Australasia is made up of Australia, New Zeland, New Guniea and a few neighbouring islands. Co-incidently, it is a part of Oceania however, which adds to the list Melanesia, Polynesia, Micronesia. These small island groups are technically a mix of French, British, USA, New Zeland and Australian 'owned' (for lack of a better word) territories. Anyway, most NZ people hate it when they are accidently called Aussies, because they are sheep rooters hehe

ok, my bad.
But then, what continent is New Zealand in? I always thought the two together were Australasia (called Oceania by the Americans).
