Sorry Soundair, there would be NO other countries forming the continent of Australia. Australia IS the country, continent and island.
Norfolk Island also requires a passport......from Australian citizens, still part of Aus!

Australia IS a continent. Oceania is a REGION.
The primary use of the term Oceania is to describe a macrogeographical region that lies between Asia and the Americas with the Australian continent as the major landmass and consisting of some 30,000 islands in the Pacific. The name Oceania is used because, unlike the other regional groupings, it is the ocean and adjacent seas that link the lands together.
Oceania has been traditionally divided into Micronesia, Melanesia, Polynesia and Australasia. As with any region, however, interpretations vary; increasingly, geographers divide Oceania into Near Oceania and Remote Oceania.
Most of Oceania consists of small island nations. Australia is the only continental country; by some definitions, Indonesia has land borders with Papua New Guinea, East Timor and Malaysia.
Australia consists of six states, two major mainland territories, and other minor territories. The states are New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia. The two major mainland territories are the Northern Territory and the Australian Capitol Territory.
Australia also has several minor territories; the federal government administers a separate area within New South Wales, the Jervis Bay Territory, as a naval base and sea port for the national capitol. In addition, Australia has the following, inhabited, external territories: Norfolk Island, Christmas Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands, and several largely uninhabited external territories: Ashmore and Cartier Islands, Coral Sea Islands, Heard Island and McDonald Islands and the Australian Antartic Territory.
These are excerpts from Wikipedia's entries about Oceania and Australia.

Hi There
I am so grad someone above me remembered Hut River Province. The Hut River Province was founded in 1970 by Leonard Casley and is in Western Australia.
To this day, it is technically a separate country and you can have your passport stamped by the Prince himself.
