Although Oceania includes numerous islands in the South and Central Pacific, all of the region's cities of any size are in Australia and New Zealand. Despite their relatively low population density, these two countries are actually two of the most urbanized countries in the world. Most of the their combined population of 30 million (as of 2018) live in cities, such as the great metropolises of Sydney and Melbourne (Olympics host cities of 2000 and 1952, respectively) with their gleaming skyscrapers. From Perth to Brisbane to Wellington, here are the best drone videos of the cities of Australia and New Zealand.

The city is extremely remote from other Australian cities, the closest one being Adelaide nearly 2.7k km (1.5k mi) away. Using a DJI Inspire 2 drone, contributor Intrepid Drone Services created this memorable aerial video of Perth at sunset.

Australia's largest city and capital of the New South Wales state, Sydney is blessed with one of the world's finest natural harbors, comparable to Hong Kong's.
