I'm guessing people crossed those mountains long before the first settlers came by with wagons. I wonder what they looked like 500 million years ago?

Your thoughts are the same as mine. Apparently a nation called the Khoi-San were the very first and early residents of the area. I don't think there was any before them.
They must have crossed the mountains before the settlers arrived.
500 million years ago, Australia and South America were still a part of the African continent. Called Gondwana land at the time.
No idea what the mountains looked like then.

I forgot they were joined back then. I guess that makes sense on the westernside. Interesting to think you could cross those mountains and end up in Argentina.

Ha, at that times there were no humans around methinks.
But it is still amazing that all was once just one. I read an article where they explained how the plates below ground shifted and then the ocean forced its way in to split the continent.
Interesting that those plates were shifted upwards by the force of the water and they rose to form the mountains.
