Why is one continent called Australia?
It should be called Oceania. Australia is confusing & makes no sense.
Do you agree?

Vanuatu
Samoa
Kiribati
Tonga

No because a continent is a landmass, and therefore can't have an ocean attached to it

Because Australia is iconic and the other countries don't want to be associated with our dangerous and harsh wildlife.
