Australia -
As everybody knows the tectonic plates that quite literally float on the earths mantle have been swinging around and clashing with each other, causing earthquakes and volcanos since the beginning of this planet.
For the last couple of million plus years Australia has been seperated completely from the rest of world and has developed it's own, unique evolutionary system.
Whilst the rest of the world has evolved similar species (eg; hundreds of variations of horses, cats, antelope etc), Australia has evolved marsupials* and alsorts of unique creatues. THROUGH EVOLUTION!
(*Actually, scientists reckon marsupials orginated from North America, migrated to Oz when the plates were closer and then evolved - http://www.australianwildlife.com.au/features/marsupials.htm )
