I used to have the office next to the Australian Liaison officer at a Joint Services Command. He inducted me as a member of the Bendigo Order of Old Bastards. I was the first non-Aussie. I got to visit Australia in the late 80s. Wonderful country and people. You do have some VERY serious empty going on once you get out of the cities.

Interesting fact: All Possums in Australia are called Possums based off of the Virginia Opossum. The word “Opossum” is an Algonquin loan word that was adopted by the English to describe the species. So, when Cook encountered them in the late 18th century while sailing around Australia, he named them “Possums,” derived from the short-hand term for “opossum.”

It's based on a source by linguist Roger Blench - the green zone is places where there's weak evidence of Austronesian presence, not enough to be conclusive. The West African connection is based on Southeast Asian crops showing up in West Africa before East Africa and before the Portuguese arrived. It could have been Malagasy Austronesians that brought them over, but it could easily have been someone else too.

I enjoyed the video which brought together the various viewpoints about Australia. As an Australian, I find outsiders are already so confused about Oz that giving them the broader views through different scientific research will just bamboozle them. I doubt that many even know about Zealandia, which would likely never have been identified without the recent advances in satellite imagery. I’ve learned about the Wallace line, the Sahul, biogeography, and Zealandia in the past year. I think it will take a long time for it to filter through the education system here in Oz, since they are so busy with social re-engineering, not scientific research. Anyway, we see Australia (and the Australian continent) as the mainland and Tasmania, plus the few surrounding islands, and a slab of Antarctica. Tasmania was always known since many ships passed through Bass Strait in the early years and Tasmania was one of the penal colonies. Our history acknowledges New Zealand as our closest neighbour, despite the closer distance with the far north. Still it is quite far away and totally different in many ways. Far North Queensland was virtually impenetrable for the settlers for most of the ‘Australian’ history of European settlement. It was far from the movers and shakers of south eastern Australia. New Guinea was a protectorate of Australia and was not considered to be part of Oz since the water was the boundary of our country.

Glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for that additional context. As someone from the US, I think a lot of Americans similarly don't think of Puerto Rico, Guam, or the other US territories as truly "American", if they even know that those places are part of our country at all. The idea that Brazilians consider themselves to be on the same continent as the US is also quite surprising to most in the US. My goal is to help people learn and think about the world, rather than make them confused, but I do acknowledge that there is a risk of confusion if people lack the proper context.

When talking about the Lord Howe island, did you mean Norfolk Island by any chance? Howe is just a normal ocean island on ocean crust, but Norfolk is actually a volcanic tip emplaced on the sunken Zealandia continent, considerably further East. Norfolk's ecology is also very unique, yet tied closer to that of NZ/NC. Norfolk is a territory of Australia, but most stuff is handled by Queensland after it was handed over from NSW in the last decade or so. Fun fact, Kingston on Norfolk island is the 2nd oldest settlement in Australia, having been founded just over a month after Sydney. This makes it older than all other state capitals in the country!

Australia plays its football (soccer) in the Asian Football Confederation. But just to add to the confusion, the A-League has one team in New Zealand, a member of the Oceania Football Confederation, and will add another next season (notwithstanding APL collapsing). I’m pretty sure we do the same for basketball, but many other sports are still affiliated with Oceania. This can cause problems such as when the Australian handball team had its Olympic qualification reversed due to concerns about the relative strength of the Oceania group. That was also the reason why all FIFA men’s World Cups prior to the next one had no direct qualification spots for the Oceania Football Confederation, which led then-Football Federation Australia to apply to move to the AFC, into which we were duly accepted in 2006. Politically, we are a member of the Pacific Nations Forum but also an associate member of ASEAN, as well as the G20 and APEC. My hometown, Melbourne, recently hosted an ASEAN Special Summit.

The way you say Pilbara and Bali cracks me up

Speaking as an Australian, we don't consider the continent as Oceania. The Continent is the main landmass. The rest is part of the continental plate.

1. I've heard that New Calidonia was originaly part of the Queensland Coast that splits off and drifted away at some stage. Therefore a lot of the geology and biology are similar. 2. Most of the Coral Sea reefs, cays and Islets belong to Australia and are Commenwealth teretories. They extend out more than half way to New Caladonia. 3. You showed an image of Macquarie Island which is a Sub Antartic Island belonging to Australia, however there was no mention of Heard and McDonald Islands in the Southern Indian Ocean, which are also Sub Antartic Islands that belong to Australia. Heard Island is actually Australia's only active Volcanoe and support Australia's only Glaciers outside of Antartica. 4. Australia's teretorial claim is the biggest in Antartica. 5. Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean belong to Australia. 6. Cocos Keeling Attol in the Indian Ocean is an Australian Terretory. It was a British teretory, however the local Malay people were given the choice what country they wanted to belong and they voted for Australia. 7. PNG was governed by Australia before becoming Indipendant.

Epic video. I appreciate the separation of the mainland from the other islands, like my own in New Zealand. A lot of people, once they figure out where we are, assume we're "just like Australia/An Australian state" when New Zealand, or Aotearoa, is a country of its own, with its own laws, cultural history, even animals! However, Australia and New Zealand are arm-linked when it comes to residency. Citizens of either country are allowed to work in either country under almost similar laws, however the ability to work in Australia or New Zealand from other countries has very high law demand (Australia, you have to do something like 12 months of hard labour to earn residency or the ability to work under residency)

How would Australia and Antarctica compare in size if the ice cap were removed? Wouldn't Antarctica count as a number of separate land masses in that case?

This has always bothered me, I personally consider the edge of the continent to be the borders of Sahul, which also gives a convenient name to separate the continental landmass from the country and island. The complicated mess of Wallacea is realistically a collection of microcontinents jammed between Sahul and Afroeurasia. Similarly, the North American continental crust ends in the Cherskiy range in Russia, hence why the Bering sea was dry during the LGM (its epicontinental). Realistically, Afroeurasia and the Americas all form one gigantic supercontinent, which is evidenced by multiple groups which are spread across its 5 constituent landmasses but are excluded from the island continents and microcontinents.

@@SignoreGalilei Do you know the difference between Reindeer and Caribou? Hint: only one can fly😎. It’s the same problem with NE Siberia and Alaska. Not much difference between the wolves either, Siberia has tigers, Canada doesn’t, the Grizzley and brown bears aren’t all that different, “In addition to the mainland grizzly (Ursus arctos horribilis), other morphological forms of brown bear in North America are sometimes identified as grizzly bears. These include three living populations-the Kodiak bear (U. a. middendorffi), the Kamchatka bear (U. a. beringianus), and the peninsular grizzly (U. a. gyas)-as well as the extinct California grizzly (U. a. californicus†), Mexican grizzly (formerly U. a. nelsoni†), and Ungava-Labrador grizzly (formerly U. a. ungavaesis†). On average, grizzly bears near the coast tend to be larger while inland grizzlies tend to be smaller.”Brown bears originated in Eurasia, and first migrated to North America between 177,000 BP ~ 111,000 BP. Most grizzly bears belong to this initial population of North American brown bear (clade 4), which continues to be the dominant mitochondrial grouping south of subarctic North America. Genetic divergences suggest brown bears first migrated south during MIS-5 (~92,000 - 83,000 BP) upon the opening of the ice-free corridor, with the first fossils being near Edmonton (26,000 BP). Other mitochondrial lineages appear later- the Alexander and Haida Gwaii archipelagoes have an endemic lineage, which first appears around 20,000 BP. After a local extinction in Beringia ~33,000 BP, two closely related lineages repopulated Alaska and northern Canada from Eurasia after the Last Glacial Maximum (>25,000 BP).” Wolverine “There are two subspecies: the Old World form, Gulo gulo gulo, and the New World form, G. g. luscus. Some authors had described as many as four additional North American subspecies, including ones limited to Vancouver Island (G. g. vancouverensis) and the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska (G. g. katschemakensis). However, the most currently accepted taxonomy recognizes either the two continental subspecies or G. gulo as a single Holarctic taxon.” Red Fox. “The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is the largest of the true foxes and one of the most widely distributed members of the order Carnivora, being present across the entire Northern Hemisphere including most of North America, Europe and Asia, plus parts of North Africa.” ”The sister lineage to the red fox is the Rüppell's fox, but the two species are surprisingly closely related through mitochondrial DNA markers, with Rüppell's fox nested inside the lineages of red foxes. Such a nesting of one species within another is called paraphyly. Several hypotheses have been suggested to explain this, including (1) recent divergence of Rüppell's fox from a red fox lineage, (2) incomplete lineage sorting”

You didn't mention the Australian Arctic territory

um... did anyone notice waltzing Matilda at the end

You used the wrong map at 8:15

​@@SignoreGalileihe doesnt like the 9 dash line or something should honestly just mind hes own business, this is a educational video no need for everything to conform to others political belief.

Well it ends at the coast lines of the cocos/keeling and Norfolk islands. The mainland isn't technically Australia.
