Oceania

Oceania has about 8.5 million km² of land, most of it in Australia, and extends across the central and southern Pacific. It comprises Australia, New Zealand and the island groups of Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia.

Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Auckland, Port Moresby and Suva are important urban and maritime hubs. The region matters globally for its ocean routes, biodiversity, Indigenous cultures and role in the response to climate change. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, Māori, Melanesian, Micronesian and Polynesian traditions are linked through navigation, inter-island exchange, and Asian and European migration.

W Festivals will include the most important festivals, celebrations and events in Oceania and in every country of the region.
