oceania
Home to the Pacific Islands, New Zealand and my own home, Australia. This part of the world boasts unique wildlife, ancient indigenous tribes and some of the world’s best natural wonders.
Oceania is home to my birthplace and where I currently live – Australia. My island home encompasses most of Oceania, but there are some other gems here too. New Zealand is Australia’s neighbour and here lies some of the most rugged natural beauty that you’ll ever see. Combined, it’s pretty hard to find a more breathtaking part of the world than these two countries. Oceania is also home to the pacific islands like Fiji and Vanuatu, with their family friendly, white sandy beaches being a favourite holiday destination.
I’ve naturally got loads of tips and places to visit in Australia. It’s such a huge country that even I haven’t seen all of it, despite having lived here all my life. I currently live in Sydney, but I grew up in Melbourne and I’ve also spent time in Hobart, Brisbane, Perth, Darwin, Cairns, The Gold Coast, The Whitsundays, The Blue Mountains, The Southern Highlands and this year I’ll be finally visiting the nation’s capital – Canberra.
