Hi AC

If you look at the sea level depth between the top of Australia and PNG you will see that there was a land

bridge between the two and that this was open until about 18,000 years back when the great melt started after

the ice age.

During the period in which water was tied up in massive ice fields the oceans were up to 130 metres lower than now.

Oceans reached a temporary high about 7,000 years back at the peak of the melt.
