Australia was once part of Antarctica and slowly made its journey towards north, I am going to focus on the landscape history of Australia after its separation from Antarctica starting with the Permian period. At this time Australia was still located near South Pole and slowly moving north, during this period Australia was covered by ice, regions in Australia began to wear off forming sedimentary basins on land. By the time it was Cretaceous period Australia was a low and quite flat continent which had caused the sea level to rise to a shallow depth and divide it into 3 separate land masses, by the time it was Paleogene and Neogene periods Eastern Australia had uplifted which had caused the separation of the rivers which flowed inside Australia
