According to Wiki "the Antarctic Convergence, an ocean zone which fluctuates seasonally, is considered by some to separate the Southern Ocean from other oceans, rather than 60° S.[1] This ocean zone is formed by the convergence of two circumpolar currents, one easterly flowing and one westerly flowing."
by this definition Australia's coastline is on two oceans. The Indian and Pacific.
Nothing like a good geographic dispute on a Sunday to get ready for football. Go Pats !

Also from Wiki "Geographers disagree on the Southern Ocean's northern boundary" and:
"In Australia the Southern Ocean was defined also to include the entire body of water between Antarctica and the south coasts of Australia and New Zealand. Coastal maps of Tasmania and South Australia label the sea areas as Southern Ocean,[3] while Cape Leeuwin in Western Australia is described as the point where the Indian and Southern Oceans meet."
And I would say "Go Jets," but that's just stupid.
