in wake of a meteor the size of Sydney hitting what is now Antartica, explaining how Australia was born, killing off 95% of Earth's species, setting up the rise of the dinosaurs? That's a lot bigger impact than the meteor that supposedly led to their decline.
It's amazing we're even here to contemplate it.
And of course, Australia being severed from the greater land mass helped set up the marsupial continent's strange fauna, such as the platypus. :)
