There's Lands of Red and Gold (http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=110941), that "Ice and Mice" is named in honor of, which explores an Australia that developed native agriculture. Empire of Mu, Reconsidered (http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=126440) imagines a submerged continent next to Australia was above water.
For general worldbuilding, it's hard to beat B_Munro (http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=158644). He posts write-ups trying to imagine the wider world of certain pop cultural stories, such as Sliders, Star Trek, Independence Day, or their futures. Like his write-ups of 2012 (http://QuantumBranching.deviantart.com/art/2012-The-Movie-much-later-263304825), or the future (http://QuantumBranching.deviantart.com/art/Thor-Meets-Captain-America-15-years-onwards-322442264) of the short story "Captain America Meets Thor." (Original short story here (http://www.davidbrin.com/thor1.htm).) You can find a lot of his scenarios and maps on deviantArt (http://quantumbranching.deviantart.com/gallery/).
