Australia and the Pacific Islands
Auckland, New Zealand
Oceania is made up of thousands of islands. Many of these islands are isolated. This has allowed unique species that are found nowhere else in the world to evolve. This also allowed unique cultures to develop in relative isolation. Indigenous influences are reflected in the cultural landscape. Many Pacific Islanders continue to live a traditional way of life.
In Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, and some other islands, people live a modern lifestyle. They mostly live in large cities like Auckland, Sydney, and Melbourne. The workforce is mainly focused in the tertiary and quaternary sectors. The economic influence of Australia and New Zealand continues to grow thanks to international trade.
