Before the British invasion, Hindu men sailed to east Australia, from Ngarenbeil. _Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies. "Negarinbeli" means "your beloved countrymen" in high-status Bali language, where Negara was the ritual-government, and the origin of "Angkor" Wat, from "negara" men of the sacred city.
A lecturer in Sanskrit tells me that "Gauriya" relates to Gauri, as in "that which is Gauri. descendant of Gauri". Gauri as half of Indra/Shiva with a snake, would connect with a snake (such as Dana river-snake the mother of Indra). Gauriya may mean "river which is Gauri", the snow-born goddess.
Gurree the shining white sky-woman made the island named for her, now Fraser Island, Queensland. Gurriya is the Rainbow Snake which made rivers and the lake at Goondiwindi, Queensland, and is "Koorea" on the coast. "Indooroopilly" means "running waters", Brisbane River, and may be "Indra Pilly" son of Indra and Gauri. Gauri sister of Vishnu may be linked with "kauri" trees of mother-earth which were inverted to hold up the sky by Tane "Father of the Forest" in Maori New Zealand. Their kauri log-boats had "mana" spirit.
It appears that Australia and New Zealand were partly Hindu states after peaceful influence from Sanskrit teaching.

The Naga dynasties of Champa and Angkor resembled the snake-ancestor legend of Scythians who with fellow Kambojas ("Kampuchea") ruled Punjab India 1st century BCE. Celtic pottery from Hallstatt Austria is found in Scythian graves in Ukraine, and Scythian sword engraving and embroidered trousers are found in Hallstatt graves.(1st millenium BCE). Scythian eagle-lion griffins are seen on Norwegian church door-posts from 11th century, and Norse:Thai temple dragon sculpture and woodwork are very similar. Temples with split-level roof and central spire are seen in Russia, Ukraine, Mongolia, Nepal and Thailand. "Maere" meaning "Great" was the royal temple in Norway, and spires in S Asia mean Meru, possibly from the Indo European root *"me" meaning "great. measure. rule". It is seen in "MORmair" Great Steward of Scotland, and "MEAth" central kingdom of Ireland amid 4 kingdoms, like Scone amid 4 provinces in Scotland. Danaan gods of Ireland, DANUbe river, DNiester, DNieper and DON rivers, and Danu river-goddess in Bali are connected with Dana and Danaya parents of Indra and the Brahmin Vritra dragon.
