What seas and oceans surround Australia?

Answer 1

• West of Australia is the Indian Ocean and to the east is the Pacific Ocean.
• South of Tasmania and Australia's southern coastline is the Southern Ocean.
• North of Australia are the Timor and Arafuraseas
• To the southeast, between Australia and New Zealand, is the Tasman Sea
