New Guinea, Australia and Tasmania have been repeatedly joined during the various ice ages in a continent I believe they call Saheul (spelling for sure wrong). I was surprised to learn that the water depth between these three areas is so shallow as to allow land connections during ice ages.

Thanks, I was sure I saw a map with them all connected during the ice age. (lower sea levels) I could not find the map, maybe, because I've been looking under Sundra Shelf.
