Australasia Travel Journal

I found it difficult to name this category. It contains all posts about my visits in Australasia. (I.e., Australia, New Zealand and any other islands in the region that fit here). The first country I visited in Australasia was New Zealand, but where does it fit in among the continents? So I lumped it with Australia, which I visited a few years later.

I recognize that others might not use the term “Australasia” or might use it differently. Be that as it may, or may not, that is how I’ve used it.

If I visit various countries in “Australasia,” each will have a subcategory under Australasia. There will also be at least one set of subcategories under each country, namely cities/towns. But there might also be one or more subcategories in the hierarchy between countries, namely states/provinces/regions if they exist and are widely known.

When I next visit a fully Asian country I’ll create a separate “Asia” category. (The last trip I took before I started this journal was to Japan, but it’s not represented here yet.)
