This is how Australia may appear with mean sea level about 100 meters (330 feet) above today's. Such a dramatic rise in sea level could occur if all of the Earth's glaciers were to melt.
In this image the Simpson and Sturt Stony Deserts have become an evergreen-shaped inland sea while the Southern Ocean has overflowed the Nullarbor Plain and much of New South Wales. To the north the Gulf of Carpentaria has grown to include parts of Queensland and Northern Territory. Further west the Great Sandy Desert has been filled by the Indian Ocean to form a bay.
