[Mick]

Basically I just want to prove Cyprus wrong.

Australia is a continent, right? He thinks it isn't and that offended me deeply.

"A continent is one of Earth's seven main divisions of land. The continentsare, from largest to smallest: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia. When geographers identify acontinent, they usually include all the islands associated with it"
-Google source.
Australia is big enough and separated from the other continents to be a continent

And from you're Wikipedia article:

It is the smallest of the seven traditional continents in the English conception

So as far as 'English conception' is concerned, yes.

I'm sorry, would you rather science tell you what a continent is or the media? I personally would rather go with science.

 

[Cyprus]

Only a nerd would choose this domain, so yes, it's outta science

By most standards, there are a maximum of seven continents - Africa, Antarctica, Asia,Australia/Oceania, Europe, North America, and South America. Many geographers and scientists now refer to six continents, where Europe and Asiaare combined (because they're one solid landmass).

Everybody is correct, Now calm

Oceania is an arbitrarily designated geographical region and Australia is a clearly demarcated geological region.
