- Australasia is a continent in the Southern Hemisphere. This article is a stub help this Wiki City by expanding this article.
- The term was coined by Charles de Brosses in Histoire des navigations aux terres australes (1756). He derived it from the Latin for "south of Asia" and differentiated the area from Polynesia (to the east) and the southeast Pacific (Magellanica). It is also distinct from Micronesia (to the northeast).
- Australasia is a region on the southern hemisphere on Earth, containing the smallest continent on the planet. The region comprises mainly of Australia, New Zealand and several thousand islands on the Pacific Ocean.
- Australasia was a continent on Earth. It consisted of Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand, Malaysia, and the islands of Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia which were collectively known as Oceania. (AUDIO: The Transit of Venus) In 200,100, when the Daleks attacked Earth, Australasia was referred to as "just... gone" after a bombing run, which implied absolute destruction of the continent. (TV: The Parting of the Ways) At one point, Australasia was home to one of the five ioniser bases keeping back the glaciers of the second Ice Age. (TV: The Ice Warriors)
- Geopolitically, Australasia is sometimes used as a term for Australia and New Zealand together in the absence of another word limited to those two countries. Sometimes the island of New Guinea (Papua New Guinea and the Indonesian part of the island) is encompassed by the term. There are many organisations whose names are prefixed with "(Royal) Australasian Society" that are limited to just Australia and New Zealand.
- En el sentido político, la palabra tiene poco uso. A pesar de que Australia y Nueva Zelanda tienen mucho en común como países angloparlantes y relativamente desarollados, ellos comparten poco en estos aspectos con los demás países del área. Además, el término no es popular en Nueva Zelanda porque se enfatiza a Australia. Sin embargo, desde el sentido biogeográfico, Australasia sí es una región distinta que contiene una historia evolutiva común y una gran cantidad de plantas y animales únicos en la zona.
- Australasia is a region of Oceania: Australia, New Zealand, the island of New Guinea, and neighbouring islands in the Pacific Ocean (Island Melanesia, potentially including Wallacea). The term was coined by Charles de Brosses in Histoire des navigations aux terres australes (1756). He derived it from the Latin for "south of Asia" and differentiated the area from Polynesia (to the east) and the southeast Pacific (Magellanica). It is also distinct from Micronesia (to the northeast). Australasia sits on the Indo-Australian Plate, together with India.

A pesar de que Australia y Nueva Zelanda tienen mucho en común como países angloparlantes y relativamente desarollados, ellos comparten poco en estos aspectos con los demás países del área. Además, el término no es popular en Nueva Zelanda porque se enfatiza a Australia. Sin embargo, desde el sentido biogeográfico, Australasia sí es una región distinta que contiene una historia evolutiva común y una gran cantidad de plantas y animales únicos en la zona. La línea de Wallace es la línea divisoria biológica que separa Australasia de Asia y es la frontera de las dos placas tectónicas. Sulawesi y Lombok están situados en el lado oriental y australasiano mientras que Borneo y Bali se sitúan en el lado occidental y asiático. Posteriormente, Australasia fue usado como nombre deportivo del equipo combinado de Australia y Nueva Zelanda. Entre los años 1905 y 1913, un equipo combinado compitió en la Copa Davis de tenis, ganándola en cuatro ocasiones. También, los dos países formaron un solo equipo bajo ese nombre para participar en las Olimpiadas de 1908 y 1912.
