There is occasionally a plan put forward to flood the inland, much of which is near sea level. You would just need to pump seawater a few km from the Gulf of St Vincent into the low lying and largely useless land north of Port Augusta.
The evaporation of the inland water would increase the rainfall on the eastern seaboard.
Of course! It was ours until Trump kidnapped it and put it in Europe to strengthen his claim on Greenland. Don't try to make sense of it.
This made me curious how big the sea is. 3.75 million cubic kilometers. Goddamn. Even if australia had a completely flat landscape, the amount of time it would take to excavate that large of an area is mind boggling.
It fits pretty well in the continental United States, too!
US do this
I didn't realize Brazil would also fit it, wow. I thought I'd have to rotate it

That’s because of the damned Mercadian map projection, it makes Europe seem much larger than it is.
Fun? fact: Africa is A LOT bigger than you think.
Yea. But iirc their coastline is smaller than Norway's
Every country has their own favorite coastline statistic.
Denmark has the largest coastline to area ratio with 172 m of coast per km^2
Unofficially there are probably even smaller island nations with higher ratios though.
I should buy a boat. 🐱 📰
LOL. Meme about rest of the world, USA shows up to make it theres. 😅
Australia is the rest of the world?
Please don't forget Mediterranean sea, its standing right there with Australia.
Yes, but it's what the country is being compared to. Australia made the entire world about them with the original image by that logic.
If they do this it will just spawn new poisonous animals and insects to kill us off.
Best case: drop bear population declines.
Worst case: drop bears become amphibians.
Unfortunately most of that area is desert. Drop bear populations would remain largely unaffected. Kangaroos with long flippers might be a possibility.
Not sure what's worse, unlike land animals they wouldn't be stuck there either. Yikes
It would become the most deadly ocean in the world ... with deadly spiders, snakes that learn to swim and kangaroos learning to wade in the shallows
Kangaroo's are actually pretty decent swimmers.
Then we were doomed before they even started to move the Mediterranean
Dolphins won’t let Roos in on there territory, unless they give good handies maybe.
Drop bears would evolve into Float bears!
Is that the …loving term for those big spiders? Huntsmans iirc?
No, that's the term for a specific breed of carnivorous koalas that drops on their victim from trees.
They already have venomous sea snakes because of course they do!
Australia used to have an inland sea existing 120 to 90 million years ago called the Eromanga Sea
*looks up Eromanga*
Oh no
This is insane!
It kinda makes sense though, there really is a below-sea-level spot:
Aww it looks like a seahorse
All i see is a funky pinguin
I saw a video a decade ago where they had low quality facts like “Did you know that if you dropped Australia on the state of Utah, at least five people would die?” I desperately wanted to show it to someone the other day because it was so relevant to our discussion, but I simply could not find it. Internet searches are worthless now. I’m sure this joke has been made 100 times in slightly different way, but I couldn’t find anything even close after 30 minutes of searching.
It never even occurred to me that I would need to save videos I didn’t want lost to time.
Internet searches are worthless now.
Ikr, my skill level keeps on increasing but it's not getting me anywhere anymore :(.
It would drown five people of European descent, but also make about 80 languages extinct.
This is my favorite grand theft auto worldmap from the entire series
Brisraelbane would be the worst place on earth
Much like now ?
Is this Nova Australis archipelago coral or volcanic?
But think of the real estate boom!/s
But think of the views!
