If one were to travel east from Australia, one would first come to the continent of South America.

However, much closer east from Australia, but not generally recognised as a continent, is the almost completely submerged continent of Zealandia, upon which the island country of New Zealand sits. Zealandia is a large fragment of the original supercontinent of Gondwanaland, and the only visible evidence of it is the New Zealand landmass and some other, smaller South Pacific islands.
