It isn't exactly known when they first migrated to Australia, but the general consensus is that the modern Aboriginals (Aboriginals as we know them today) migrated to Australia around (15,000 - 20,000) years ago.

There is a LOT of evidence of a far older culture living in Australia for at least 60,000 years but dissapeared around the time the Aboriginals migrated here. The older culture was prominent in the north west of the country where paintings of the ancient "Wandjina" are the only remnants left of the first inhabitants.
