Ya, it was connected to each other years ago.

The land which connects india australia and madagascar was called lemuria(which is a lost continent)

Answer 2

Most geologists believe that no, they weren't directly connected.  Even when the land masses of the Earth were all joined together as Pangaea, Australia and Asia were not touching.

Australia was actually connected to Antarctica, and there is very, very strong geological evidence on the south coast of Australia that the two continents were once attached.  In fact, some of the rock structures in Albany, Australia can be matched almost exactly with structures on the Antarctic coast like a continental jigsaw puzzle.
