        As an Australian , as far as I know there is just a long white cloud over endless ocean over that spot there. Satellite imagery proves it. 🤷‍♂️

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aotearoa

          Aotearoa (Māori: [aɔˈtɛaɾɔa]) is the Māori-language name for New Zealand. The name was originally used by Māori in reference only to the North Island, with the whole country being referred to as Aotearoa me Te Waipounamu (North Island (Te Ika-a-Māui) and South Island (Te Waipounamu)). In the pre-European era, Māori did not have a collective name for the two islands.

          Several meanings for Aotearoa have been proposed; the most popular translation usually given is “land of the long white cloud”, or variations thereof. This refers to the cloud formations which helped early Polynesian navigators find the country.

    As an Aussie I don’t think Tasmania should’ve been coloured in green here.

    (P.S. I love Tasmania this is just a joke)

        Not infinitely. But we are buoyant enough for walking on it.

    Anyone could walk to Australia in Pangea.

    Up to about 200m years ago…

    Mind you, I’m in Australia and wouldn’t dare try to walk to some parts of Australia…

      First Nations people walked here about 65k years ago so it was possible still for a fairly long time.
