What makes you think Australia was inhabbited during the flood?
The word that translates into 'earth' in the english mean the known world or whole inhabited earth. If Wicked man or 'Men of great renoun' (The actual target of the flood) had not made it to Australia then why should it be flooded?

Kinda like the 'ice bridge' that allowed man to walk from asia to North America and later become Inuit and Native americans??
"Ice bridge in my theory ok. Ice bridge in yours?? Don't be foolish.
