Tasmania is a very ancient land. Most people don't realize that its formation was completely separate from that of Australias. And that it's actually derived from two completely separate continents that bare absolutely no relation to Australia itself.

Infact, Tasmania, is more closely related to East Antarctica, and to North America's Arizona, then it is to anything in Australia.

The incredible thing about Tasmania, though, is the fact that it's actually around 1 billion years older than every state in eastern Australia. From Queenslands, down to New South Wales, and to Victoria, the construction of these landmasses actually began coincidentally around the time that Tasmania collided with Victoria, 500 million years ago. Tasmania begun it's construct at some point around 1750 million years ago, though, and it was nothing more than a weathered byproduct derived from eroded sedimentary material, carried by the rivers of ancient Antarctica and America, out to the deep ocean sedimentary basin, that would, after tectonic interference, see itself uplifted out of the ocean, becoming the present day landmass of Tasmania.

I hope you enjoy the incredible story of Tasmania's construction!
