Sahul (continent)
Sahul was a prehistoric continent that consisted of Australia, New Guinea, Tasmania and Seram.
.
Sahul became partially submerged starting around 18,000 years ago. Sea levels continued to rise until around 5000 BCE.
Sahul and Sunda were points of early human migrations after leaving Africa.
Recent research points to a planned migration of hundreds of people using bamboo rafts, which eventually landed on Sahul.
The Sahul continent takes its name from the Sahul Shelf.
