Australia was settled by the English, so its early cultural influence was primarily English, and hence Western-influenced, rather than Asian. Australia remains a predominantly white population, although cultural influences from all over the world, including Asia, are becoming more pronounced.
Geographically, Australia is south of southeast Asia. It is more prone to droughts and bushfires, being made up largely of desert and bushland. Southeast Asia tends to suffer more by way of flooding resulting from cyclones and typhoons (cyclones in Australia rarely bring major flooding). Southeast Asia is also positioned along the Great Rim of Fire, where much seismic activity takes place. Australia is not bothered by seismic activity which, although present, is too far underground to cause any major damage (except for Newcastle in 1989). Australia is also known for its unique marsupial species, and for having the only monotremes (egg-laying mammals) in the world.
Oceania is not a continent. It is a geographical region comprising Austraila, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and some of the South Pacific islands. because oceanis includes Australia and Papua New Guinea, it also has unique marsupials and mammals found nowhere else in the world.

Democracy is very rare on the continents of Africa and Asia (between these continents, you have over 100 countries and roughly a dozen are democracies). Democracy is present in Latin America in name, but in many cases, there is an extraordinary level of corruption, which derails the democracy. Democracy is only really present in Europe, North America, and Australia/Oceania.
