Environment and Animals

Australia’s continental plate drifted away from Antarctica towards the Equator between 10 and 55 million years ago. This isolation of Australian plants, landscape and wildlife led to a unique evolutionary process.

Australia has an exceptional range of species with more than 80% of our mammals, frogs, reptiles and flowering plants found nowhere else in the world.
