Some tribes in north of Australia have verifiable myths about the geography of the lands that have been under the sea off the north of Australia for 6-8 thousand years at least (meaning, the description of the land features matches the sea floor geography).

Has anyone quantified their myths properly? If not then they're just cherry picking.

Do you have any proof that they are just cherry picking?

No, I just assume they are until they provide data to prove otherwise. We don't even know if the same tribes were in the same area that long ago.
