The Sahul continent of the eastern side of the line, encompassed Australia, Tasmania, New Guinea, and the Aru islands.

线的东侧的萨湖古大陆涵盖了澳洲、塔斯马尼亚、新几内亚和阿鲁群岛。

Today, we know them as the paleocontinents of Sunda in the west and Sahul in the east, both of which existed during the ice ages when more water was locked up in ice and sea levels were lower.

今天，我们知道它们是西部的巽他古大陆和东部的萨胡古大陆，两者在冰河时期就存在的，当时更多的水被锁在冰里，海平面也较低。
