Has a New Continent Been Found?

Has a New Continent Been Found? 

A correspondent sent me THIS LINK. It tells us about a bit of Australia which moved towards South-East Asia and got split up into fragments on its way. The article includes the following YouTube video. It shows what the authors think happened. All I can say is that it is mighty complicated! (Click the full page symbol to make the video as large as possible. This might make it more comprehensible!)



The amount of evidence collected must be huge. Trying to put it together to make a logical story is beyond my capabilities!

The intriguing thing is that it may explain the Wallace Line - the border between the flora and fauna of South-East Asia and Australia. But the time scales are surely different. The geology talks in terms of hundreds of millions of years, the flora and fauna would be a shorter time scale.
