Tasmania was connected to mainland Australia before the end of the Ice Age about 10,000 years ago. At the end of the Ice Age, the water from melting snow covered the junction of the two sides of the strait, forming the Bass Strait. Because Tasmania is not connected to the Australian mainland, it has developed relatively slowly, and thus retains many original features. -
