I wonder if you know about 'The Wallace Line'?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallace_Line
In general this line marks a divide between Australian flora and fauna to t=
he east and the quite distinct Asian flora and fauna to the west.
Even though Australia now sees itself, politically, as part of Asia, it has=
a separate ecosystem.
