		The idea of the Five Continents is still strong in Europe and Asia, and is represented by the five rings on the Olympic flag.
		Antarctica was sighted in 1820, for the sixth and last continent to be given a separate name, though a great "antarctic" (antipodean) landmass had been anticipated for millennia.

	Amazon.co.uk: The Last Continent (Discworld): Books: Terry Pratchett (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		Terry Pratchett's 22nd Discworld novel, The Last Continent, is a lighthearted tour of the fantasy land of Fourecks, a very Australian sort of place, with brief courses in theoretical physics and evolution thrown in for good measure.
		The Last Continent is the 22nd novel in the Discworld series, and the 6th to ‘star’ inept wizard Rincewind.
		Plot-wise The Last Continent is one of the slimmest Discworld novels ever, with the narrative evenly split between Rincewind’s adventures in the Outback and the rest of the regular Unseen University wizards travelling backwards in time to an island where evolution has gone mad.

		But Pratchett's The Last Continent attempts to explain how the Last Continent, a land, which seems very similar to Australia, came into being.
		The Last Continent bears remarkable parallels to our own Land Downunder but with the misfortune of residing in Discworld.
		Rincewind involuntarily obtained magical transport to the Last Continent in a previous book, and no one at the Unseen University knows where the Last Continent lies.

		Some of today's finest writers have joined together in The Last Continent: New Tales of Zothique to pay tribute to both the enticing world and the master who created it: Clark Ashton Smith, the Bard of Auburn.

	Terry Pratchett: The Last Continent
		Pratchett returns to the downside of this trend with The Last Continent, a rambling novel in which the faculty of Unseen University is stuck on a small deserted island and Rincewind must deal with the rather odd natives of the last continent, XXXX.
		XXXX is closely modeled on Australia, which Pratchett seems to have decided doesn't obey the same temporal rules the rest of the world does.
		Because of this, Pratchett deals with temporal paradoxes on the last continent created on the Discworld, which added as an afterthought by a passing deity whose signature creature is the kangaroo.

	Nature Book Reviews - Crown Of The Continent: The Last Great Wilderness of the Rocky Mountains
		Replete with anecdotes and instruction on approaching elk in the open, Waldt suggests pretending “your whole universe is complete without a single elk in it”—the book draws on more than 30 years of journals, notes and hiking experiences, including Waldt’s time as a naturalist at The Nature Conservancy’s Pine Butte Guest Ranch in Choteau, Montana.
		With the air of a trusty companion, Waldt spins grizzly tales, interprets scat and reawakens a sense of awe for this wild corner of North America.
		Home to some of the most intact wildland on the continent, this region contains almost all of the wild creatures that the native peoples, including the Blackfeet Indians, encountered on their forays into the Backbone of the World.

	SF Signal: REVIEW: The Last Continent by Terry Pratchett
		The Last Continent is the sixth Rincewind novel, and it seems that Pratchett may have been running out of steam.
		The story is basically about how the Wizards of the Unseen University end up on the Last Continent (aka - XXXX), but 3000 years in the past, and Rincewind's adventures in present day XXXX and how those two settings finally mesh.
		Which is to say, while The Last Continent isn't Pratchett's best by a long shot, it does have its moments, and its certainly better than your run of the mill fantasy with elves story.

		What you will take away from this adventure to the unspoiled white continent is the iridescent blue of the icebergs, the towering glaciers, the comic antics of penguins, the myriad shapes, the vastness of the landscape and a sense of snow.

		I had just finished the first 5 Harry Potter books along with my son, and understood what Byatt was talking about when she criticized the series: in my not-very-humble opinion, the Potter books are far too tame, and fail to give that impression of a true and untamed world beyond the boundaries of the book.
		I read the Last Continent, and I was amused: Pratchett's writing is very witty, his sentences dynamic, and he has an eye for the improbable and ludicrous.
		The Last continent is written in the same style as the 'old pratchetts'.

		This vast, lonely and frequently malevolent continent had been at the back of my mind for a very long time.
		A little further south we were greeted by the Last Continent's most famous icons, penguins.
		The relatively brief history of human presence on this continent is replete with such blows of fate, from the early exploration days of Scott and Shakleton to the volcano eruption that claimed the British Antarctic Survey base on Deception Island.

		So, while you may end up thinking that this book is about Australia, and indeed bears more than a passing resemblance to it, you must remember that the book is only about a continent that is LIKE Australia in certain ways.
		So, cobber, the story is based upon the creation of the Last Continent, and the unexpected arrival there at the time of creation of several wizard's from Ankh-Morpork's Unseen University.
		The parallel plots involve the voyages and discoveries of the above-mentioned wizards, and Rincewind's quest to avoid his destiny as the savior of the continent.

	HELP! with "The Last Continent"
		To those of you not fortunate enough to be Australians, a great deal of the humour might well be lost in the Terry Pratchett book "The Last Continent", so we have mirrored this modest page (from elsewhere) and enhanced it in the hopes that it may be some use.
		This poem goes on to describe the scene that ensues with Rincewind, in that sheep theft goes on which is interrupted by the owner and three police.
		Note the last verse which talks about the haunting by ghosts.
