 Actually, as I remember, the Dark Lands were placed somehow they look like Australia related. " As seen in the Ambarkanta, it occupies a position on Arda much like Antarctica and Australia do compared to Eurasia, if Antarctica and Australia were one land-mass.: From "One Wiki To Rule Them All". So it is probably intention of Tolkien to people see it as Australia and Antarctica later, when "the all lands have changed from this time".
