Australia separated from the supercontinent Gondwana, which included present-day continents like Africa, South America, Antarctica, and India. This separation began around 85 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous period. Over millions of years, Australia drifted northward to its current position, becoming a distinct landmass. This geological process shaped Australia's unique ecosystems and biodiversity.
