I know I've joined this party very late .... and most of the party goers have probably had enough and are getting ready to leave ... but ....
I regard Australia as being in the South Pacific, along with New Zealand and Fiji, and Tahiti and Hawaii etc.
In that sense, I regard myself as a South Pacific Islander.
Interestingly, because of geographic remoteness issues FIFA (the international soccer/football body) has placed us in an inter country league with countries like:
Iraq
Uzbekistan
Syria
Jordan
China
Japan
Korea
Saudi Arabia
UAE
India
etc
Which must make our competition one of the most culturally diverse of all the FIFA contests.
