Papua New Guinea's most famous dish is "Mumu": Pork and vegetables roasted in an earth oven. In New Zealand, Maori cuisine is being reinvented as contemporary chefs combine native recipes with fine dining.
Australia and Oceania are a melting pot of cultures due to waves of immigration since the 19th century, but Aboriginal and Maori cultures have existed here for millennia and have survived colonialism to this day.
Australasia's population is currently around 42.3 million people and includes Australia, New Zealand and the surrounding islands. Australia is the most populous country with 25 million people, but many of the surrounding Pacific islands are very sparsely populated.
One word: diverse. Australia is home to the vast, arid outback, Papua New Guinea is a tropical volcanic archipelago and New Zealand offers a landscape of fjords, snow-capped mountains and deep forests.
