AN INTRODUCTION TO OUR WORLD...

Oceania is perhaps the least populated, least visited and least understood region in the world. Comprising much of the globe south of the equator, it can be loosely defined as the South Pacific Ocean.

Man first made his way from Asia to the Pacific Islands many thousands of years ago, island hopping across the great expanse of the Pacific in makeshift craft of hollowed-out trees supporting sails of the palm, flax or skins.

Mankind now populates what are the many island nations of this vast region from the Aborigines of Australia, the largest island in the world, to the famous warrior Maori of New Zealand's stunning North and South Islands, and further east the Polynesians who call home the many Pacific nations, amongst them Fiji with some 300 islands under its flag and French Polynesia's 118 island's spanning an area of ocean the size of Europe.

Despite the 'new world' of the region of Oceania having been 'discovered' by European seafarers including the Dutch, English and French, none are more significant than Englishman Captain James Cook, whose voyages of discovery in the 1700s were famous even then. His voyage around the known world to Australia in search of the fabled Great Southern Land led him further east on his subsequent voyages to New Zealand and across the Pacific Ocean.

Oceania is being re-discovered by a new era of adventurous traveller in a new generation of experiences. Welcome to our world!
