How to trash a continent:

1) Find a good map.
2) Raise the sea level til the map looks cool.
3) Drop a few nuclear explosions on key urban centres.
4) Rename what’s left with puns if possible.

and voila! instant post-holocaust australia!

Had a lot of fun doing this… it was inspired by an ancient RPG called After the Bomb, where mutant animals take over the world. The Australian supplement “Mutants Down Under” had this really lameo map in it, and I’ve always wanted to have a crack at doing it better. 

And the cool thing was that I actually learned a fair bit more about Oz while researching it. There really is an independent free state in Western Australia called the Hutt River Province that managed to get the thumbs up from the Queen… and there were plans to make a separate state named Auralia for a while. Lots of nifty little bits of knowledge like that… why I like writing historical fiction too, you just keep stumbling over strange little stories and incidents.
