What continent is New Zealand a part of?

Australia, I thought.

Can be easily found, eh? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand
Next time: search. ;-)

i did look it up but i kept finding contradicting answers-part of austrailia, does not lie on a continental shelf at all, etc

I always thought t was Australasia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australasia Not a continent, but an area of ocean… good enough. :)

the continent that includes both Australia and New Zealand is or used to be called Oceana.

Its called Australasia and contains just Australia and New Zealand.

Oceania aka Australasia (calling it Australia will offend any NZers) and it also includes Pacific Islands and Papua New Guinea.

Australasia or Oceania. contains nz, australia, and the islands.

Australasia

NOT part of Australia.

New Zealand is not part of a continent, more so an area called ‘Oceania’
