That link states that your view is just as correct as everyone else's. Here is a quote from the site (bolding is my own):

Sometimes Australasia or "Oceania" is used to refer collectively to Australia and the Pacific islands. Both terms, however, have fairly precise meanings.

Also this:

There is no single standard for what defines a continent, and therefore various cultures and sciences have different lists of what are considered to be continents. In general, a continent must be large in area, consist of non-submerged land, and have geologically significant borders. While some consider that there are as few as four or five continents, the most commonly used counts are six or seven.

yes i was just going by what i was tought at school and found a site to back it up... to bad i didnt read through the whole thing :s . Any way we just call it Australasia or Oceania so that we dont make the other countrys such as New Zealand feel sad because they are in a continent that has another countrys name. :D
