Which continent is Australia in

Answer 1

Australia is in the continent of Australia. It is both a continent and a country.

Note: contrary to erroneous opinion, it is not in the "continent" of either Australasia or Oceania. Neither of these is a geographical continent, but rather, they are both political regions.

Answer 2

Australia is both a country and a continent.

The continent is Australia, which is the world's smallest continent. It is also an island continent, as it is completely surrounded by water.

Australia is also counted in the geographical regions of "Oceania" and "Australasia" with islands such as New Zealand and New Guinea, and other islands of the South Pacific. Oceania and Australasia are not, however, formally classified as continents.
The continent of Australia lies completely within the Southern Hemisphere. It is the only continent which is occupied entirely by a single nation - Australia.

Australia is considered a continent, not an island, because it sits on its own tectonic plate, unlike islands, which share plates with other continental land masses. However, because Australia is completely surrounded by oceans and seas, and shares no land borders with any other country, it is sometimes referred to as an island continent.
