Best Answer

In ancient times, Australia (including the island of Tasmania) and New Zealand, along with the other continents and islands were all believed to be part of the great continent known as Pangaea.

In turn, Pangaea was believed to break up into the northern land mass (Laurasia) and the southern landmass (Gondwana) which later broke up into Antarctica, Africa, Madagascar, the Indian subcontinent, South America, Australia and all the various islands of the Southern Hemisphere.
