Old towns in Oceania

Old towns of Oceania outlines a list of notable old towns in Oceania. Oceania's old towns are relatively young compared to European old towns: the indigenous cultures were not urban, and European colonists arrived in the last few centuries. For instance, Sydney, Australia's oldest city, was only established in 1788.
