Australasia is a sub-region of Oceania and is made up of Australia, the island of New Guinea, New Zealand and various islands of the Pacific Ocean. With India, Australasia sits on a plate called the Indo-Australian Plate. 'Australasia' was first used by Charles de Brosses in 1756 in his 'Histoire des navigations aux terres australes'. It was taken from the Latin for 'south of Asia' in which he differentiated it from Polynesia and the southeast Pacific are of Magellanica. It's also separated from Micronesia. (budinetworks)
