“AUSTRALIA”
(THE CONTINENT)
.
-‘australasia’ (a region of ‘oceania’) comprises ‘australia’, ‘new zealand’, neighboring islands in the ‘pacific ocean’ and, sometimes, the island of ‘new guinea’ (which is usually considered to be part of ‘melanesia’)-
(‘charles de brosses’ coined the term (as french australasie) in histoire des navigations aux terres australes (‘1756’))
(he derived it from the latin word for “south of asia” and differentiated the area from ‘polynesia’ (to the ‘east’) and the ‘southeast pacific’ (‘magellanica’))
(the bulk of ‘australasia’ sits on the ‘indo-australian plate’, together with ‘india’)
