Australasia is the region of Oceania comprising Australia, New Zealand and the neighboring islands of the southwestern Pacific, sometimes extended to include New Guinea. Distinguished from the broader term Oceania by its narrower focus on Australia and New Zealand as a shared cultural and geopolitical unit, the term reflects the two countries' close historical, economic and strategic ties as former British colonies.
