Explanation:

A geothermal plateau, specifically the Taupo Volcanic Zone, is located on the North Island of New Zealand. The South Island of New Zealand has different geological features, the Australian outback is arid and not known for geothermal plateaus, and the high islands of the Pacific have different volcanic/geothermal contexts but not a major geothermal plateau like in New Zealand's North Island.
