Best Answer

Australia is considered part of the 'New World' despite being in the Eastern hemisphere; this is because it was not discovered until after the Americas. The 'Old World' strictly speaking refers to the 'world island' (Afro-Eurasia), although it is sometimes incorrectly used to simply refer to the Eastern hemisphere (which would include Australia).
