and Antarctica':

once again visit bathymetric maps and scrutinise the coastal
definition of Antarctica and the ocean floor north, west,
south and east of this continent (the author found that in
this particular instance www.geoplayer.com provided the
clearest bathymetry overview of the region).
What
will emerge is evidence of a landmass (and ocean floor) that
has been separated into two with one section displaced from
its original location abutting ‘Antarctica’. This,
separated section of the Earth’s crust became the
independent continent that is now Australia.
How
did I arrive at this conclusion?....
