Can you walk from Australia to papua new guinea during the ice age?

During the Last Ice Age, approximately 20,000 years ago, sea levels were considerably lower than they are today due to the vast amount of water stored in glaciers. This drop in sea level exposed the continental shelf between New Guinea and Australia, creating a land bridge known as Sahul. Sahul, was a vast lowland plain and people could have walked from Papua New Guinea to Australia without crossing open water in boats (although they would also have been able to navigate along the coasts in canoes for parts of the journey).
