Upgrade of 9 November 2019
The content of “Australasia” has been replaced with the administrative regions in use in the five Australian states and the two self-governing territories. As evident in the annotated list below, the previous list of articles for “Australasia” suffered from the following:
- Sufficient overlapping of the parts of the Earth’s surface under discussion
- Inconsistent subject matter (i.e. pure geography or physical geography) which lacks a regional focus (i.e. large parts of the Australian continent vs. relatively small parcels of land) and includes several bodies of water,
- Off-topic content, i.e. two “places” located in other parts of Oceania,
- And did not include any articles that discuss the state of Tasmania.
- Annnotated list
- Gulf of Carpentaria – a gulf on the north coast of the Australian continent (and which appear twice in the template)
- Zealandia – a now-submerged continent which overlaps parts of Melanesia and Polynesia which are both not part of ‘Australasia’
- Kula Gulf - a gulf in Melanesia
- Australia – the entire Australian continent
- Capital Country – a tourism region in New South Wales
- Eastern Australia - mainland states of Victoria, Queensland, and New South Wales and the following territories - the Australian Capital Territory and Jervis Bay Territory,
- Lake Eyre basin – a drainage basin in the central part of the continent
