Tasmania is an island which lies to south of the Australian continent, from which it became definitively separated around thirteen million years ago. This isolation occurred after thousands of years of shared evolution, meaning that Tasmania has to this day conserved relics of the primeval, universal forest which once stretched right around the world, some 250 million years ago.
Australia, along with Tasmania, drifted to east of the Antarctic.
