When antarctica was a part of gondawana what other day countries were adjecent next to it?

Antarctica was about the last to break away from Australia some 100 000 000 years ago, the penultimate part of Gondwana. Prior to that, India was the next most recent departure. Scattered across the continents are traces of features, once perhaps continuous across Pangaea. One of these is the intriguing diamond belt that stretched from South America (Brazil), through South Africa, then at least represented in India, to the diamond fields of western Australia. Similar fragments of features, both geological and botanic are powerful supports for the Pangaea model. It should be noted that the continents have merged into super-continents and broken up again several times. Pangaea was merely the most recent of these.
