Abstract
This chapter approaches the history of Australasia as a regional construction through the lens of connections between Fiji, New Zealand and Australia. Placing Fiji at the apex of the triangle, it explores the ways in which these three sites have interacted and influenced each other, recognizing also the prominence of their pairings along each side of the triangle, i.e. Fiji–Australia, Fiji–New Zealand and Australia–New Zealand. This captures a sense of their multidirectional interactions, whether through traffic and exchange, as well as notions of mutual dependence and rivalry.
