The predominant religion in this region is Catholic with a 27%, followed by Anglican and other Christians 21% both. This zone in the world is well known by its high rate of immigration.

By its side, Australia being the biggest island in Oceania, is more famous, its capital is Cranberra, Sydney is its large city, the official language is english, actually Australia is a typical destination for foreigners to learn english. On the contrast New Zealand is wll known by its landscapes so it becomes such a lovely destination on holidays.
Other important facts in the Oceania - Australia region, are the traditions, which are based on the lifestyles, so meeting such as: Having a bbq, going to the beach, or attending a music festival, rather than the history or the moral of the story, and regarding to home-grown traditions, the most remarkable one is the Melbourne Cup where punters show their patriotism with gambling and drinking. So it is pretty interesting to see how different are traditions in that part of the world, while most of the countries are strongly tied up to ist roots and traditions.
Other curious fact is the newspaper readership, actually Australians read more newspapers than any other nation, we could conclude that they are wll informed about news around the world, ant there must be great newspaper enterprises over there.
They do not spend so much money in newspapers but they do in Gambling, they are addicted to gambling. I must say that I do find out pretty interesting these issues.
