yes antipodes is an informal name for the area.i think it is more specifically used for a group of rocky islands off new zealand but can be used for aus & nz also.
you could also use Oceania but is more broader based name as it also includes the pacific islands of polynesia, micronesia etc... |

Antipodes would work, I would have said Oceania as well but that includes all those other (relatively) close Pacific islands. |

Most international official region breakdowns call the region Oceania. This includes Australia, New Zealand and the nearby pacific islands. |

Antipodes, Downunder, Oceania, South Pacific. These are all good alternatives for Australia & NZ.
Note - Antipodes is really only relevant to the British, as NZ or there abouts is the direct opposite point of Britain on a globe of the world. |

Also, Down Under and God's Own Country. |

If you're from the UK or Spain, it is the antipoedes. (as in, the opposite part of the globe - roughly.) |

Australasia is not a name for Australia and New Zealand because none of those countries are in Asia.
antipodes would be correct from the perspective of the UK. |
