The Australasian ecoregion consists of Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, Melanesia, and the eastern parts of Indonesia. The outer islands of Oceania make up a different region. In Indonesia, the region borders the Indomalayan region.

The region, especially Australia, is known for its unusual wildlife.
