  They're just off Indonesia and on the Asian continent. It's right on the cusp though.
context: Isn't as much land in Australia??? It's the 6th largest country. >
  
  The continent of Australia is the smallest of the seven traditional continents. It is also called Sahul... but apparently OP didn't do any research before declaring their "opinion".
  I am not sure this even counts as it is just so ignorant. >
  
  Calling australia sahul is like calling africa pangea. 
  No one here uses it either, its always australia, australasia or oceania. >
  
  No, Oceania is not the same as the Australian Continent, nor is Australasia. New Zealand is part of both and New Zealand is part of the continent of Zealandia.
  The only alternate name the Australian Continent has is Sahul. >
  
  I gurss you're right, but 8 continents seems weird >
  
  
  “I’m going to australia ” like how do you know if it the continent or the country
  
  It's both so why worry about making a distinction? >
  
  OP is worried that people can't say "I am going to the Aru Islands". >
  
  Aru Islands is in Asia though. >
  
  But they are on the Australian continent.
