 * the Australian Antarctic Territory is not included in Australia; it is treated as part of the Antarctic continent;
 * Heard and McDonald Islands, politically a territory of Australia, is treated with the other subantarctic islands;
 * Macquarie Island, politically an island of Tasmania, is treated with the other subantarctic islands;
 * Christmas Island and Cocos (Keeling) Islands, both territories of Australia, are treated as part of Malesia.
