Other land bridges around the world have emerged and disappeared in the same way; approximately 14,000 years ago, mainland Australia was linked to both New Guinea and Tasmania, the British Isles formed an extension of continental Europe via the dry beds of the English Channel and North Sea, and the dry basin of the South China Sea linked Sumatra, Java and Borneo to the Asian mainland.
It was formerly an island until a land bridge was constructed on the southern end; this now carries U.S. Route 17, or Roosevelt Boulevard.
12,000 years ago, South Gippsland formed part of a land bridge to Tasmania the remnants of which is the Furneaux Group of islands.
