This is the general geographic consensus afaik.
Amendment: I do however wholeheartedly demand that it be acknowledged the continent is indeed as a matter of fact Oceania. Australia is merely Oceania's respective continental landmass. As far as I can ascertain it is a primitive land in a state of regression since 1788, most notable for its lofty days as a penal colony.

It’s a continent, a country and an island. I think it’s the only place in the world that’s all three
Yeah I read a definition of island recently that was “any landmass completely surrounded by water and smaller than a continent”
 

Coronis

International Coach
Continent has no definition though, so by that island doesn't either.

This is really just one of those things you get to just make up.
True. Anyway for this particular exercise I thought it was better for Aus to be continent rather than teaming them up with the second best ATXI, Hadlee and two top tier openers. And making the continental one have an inferior spinner.
