Not just Australia, but Madagascar is implicated in megatsunamis.
Most papers point to the undersea Burckle crater in the Indian Ocean. The other side of Australia may have been “waved” by the Mahuika crater.
Burckle may have come down as recently as 4500- 6000 years ago, right at the edge of recorded history.
One more reference.
I’ve seen disciplines justify their exalted positions before, but this one is a gem. Definitely must keep for future reference. So a bunch of ideologically-driven academics preempt five hundred years of physical science? Are we now supposed to worship at the shrine of Margaret Mead and beg her intercede with the nature gods? Beautiful stuff, thanks for posting.

In the middle of Australia there is a group of three or four meteorite craters called the Henley craters. They're like the Arizona meteorite crater -- not so big, but there are several of them -- and, like in Arizona, the land was scattered with pieces of iron meteorite. I think the [inaudible] dating very slow growing desert plants. They believe that the date is about 5000 years ago -- the formation of the craters. The Aboriginal name for this area is the "Place Where The Sun Walked on the Earth" -- they must have seen it!
Contend that places as diverse as Britain, the Andes, Iraq, and Australia were swept by a tsunami with a height of 5km in 7640BC......
By the way, blam, have you read this book? I'm reading it now....I think you'd like it.

1st ABO: Eh, mate, today we’re gonna carry all these shells and bits o coral rock miles inland and dump them.
2nd ABO: Coor Arch, why are we gonna do that? Seems like an awful lot o work in the sun for nothing.
1st Abo: That’s the beauty of it. Hundreds, maybe thousands of years from now, it’ll drive the bastards that come along behind us crazy.
