   I have some sympathy for Stephen's answer. "Australasia" was an odd   
   thing. The answer clearly points to the south-east - they would not   
   say Australasia if the answer had been Kuwait, had they?   
      
   But is New Zealand Australiasia? That's quite a strecth in my ears. Port   
   Moreseby sounds like the perfectly logical answer for something that is in   
   between. Didn't this cause any consternation when the quiz took place?   
   I think "island nation" would have been a better hint.   
      
   Then again, three entrants here had the corrct answer, so there is not   
   much point bitching about it.
