Welcome to the story of the Land Bridge. Many thousands of years ago, during the last ice age, falling sea levels exposed the shallow Bass Strait seafloor as land.

This episode explains what can be expected in this series and also introduces Bass Strait and its ancient existence as the Bassian Plain. A full introduction is also freely available to read at the link https://thelandbridge.au/introduction/.
