I can see having a culture that lasts millenia on a remote continent. Try having a long lived culture in a place where various land and sea routes come together, cheek to cheek with other, more rapacious cultures

Close to 70% of the 334 extant species occur on the Australian continent (the mainland, Tasmania, New Guinea and nearby islands). The remaining 100 are found in the Americas — primarily in South America, but thirteen in Central America, and one in North America, north of Mexico.
