Just out of curiosity but how much research have you guys done on the ark? The Ark was about 1.5 (American) football fields in length and about three stories high. Plenty of room for the animal kinds. Fish and other sea animals were not counted as they could live in the waters. There were actually 7 of each type of bird. Even dinos were on the ark; most likely juveniles as these would fit a lot better! There was actually quite a bit of spare room. Like enough room to keep the neccesary plants alive for 40 days. Most plant eaters are quite happy with dried plants though. Same with the meat eaters only they got dried meat not plants.
As for Austrailian animals.... Austrailia is a very unique climate. the animals that migrated there did so because they thrived there best.
And the earths geography most certainly agrees with a global flood. The Local Flood theory is rediculous. I doubt the faith of the Christians that came up with that compromise. The Bible clearly states in Genesis 7:17-24 that the flood covered the entire earth.

In response to schrafinator:
All the food they would need for water is rain water (they probably had enough). Actually they would need enough food for 2 horses. Yes this is a lot but, they had enough room to store a lot of food. Here are some figures to back up this claim.

In response to nwr:
Actually 8 people is not that bad as many animals, such as the grazers, did not have to be fed every day. i.e. they were likely given enough food at a time to last 2 or more days. As for the Aussie animals, I think that God has a sense of humor and directed animals to different places, Austrailia being his "oddity" place.
In response to Ringo:
I mean kinds as in equines, canines, bears, etc.
And Dinos did not have to be sexually mature. Who said that they all got off the ark and immediately began reproducing. I believe they migrated a ways before mating. And Dinos did not go extinct immediately after the flood. In fact "dragons" fit the criteria for dinosaurs very well minus the firebreathing part. The fact that so many different cultures have such similiar depictions of these beasts lends much credibility to their existance. The Bible even depicts a creature the sounds like one of the sauropods. (Job 40:15-24)
And you are correct that the number is larger than 40, but its actually 150 (Genesis 7:24). Still a reasonable number.

I am going to bow out of this discussion for a while to do some research. I'll be back when I got some more information.
