* Myth/OceanianMythology

Also known as the continent of Australia (not to be confused with the individual country which is a part of it), Oceania is Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands. It's a political continent rather than a geographic one, because it's not a huge landmass but a collection of atolls and islands. To confuse the terminology further, Oceania is often considered part the [[UsefulNotes/{{Asia}} Asian]] ''region'' (but not the continent), and is often grouped with South Asia and UsefulNotes/TheFarEast as the Asia-Pacific.
