Pre-history

It worth mentioning that there is oral history from the local aboriginal peoples from when this was a plain with good hunting before it was flooded at the end of the last ice age (when sea levels were 120m below current levels). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.255.53.34 (talk) 06:13, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
