Yes, he did. When Sturt explored the Murray River, an Aborigine he befriended one day was able to prevent hostilities with a larger group of Aborigines which Sturt encountered near the junction with the Darling River. Sturt's party continued on their way unharmed.

The colonial government, represented by Governor Ralph Darling, asked Charles Sturt to explore.Later on, in the 1840s, Sturt undertook an expedition of his own initiative, to explore the deserts in northern South Australia. He was obsessed with the idea of an inland sea in central Australia. However, he failed to find any evidence of such a sea.

No, the Aborigines were the first people in Australia, and they were originally from the Indian subcontinent. The first known Asians to have contact with the Australian continent (long before any European explorers) were the Macassans, from modern-day Indonesia. It has been speculated that the Chinese may have been in contact with the Aborigines before the continent was settled by Europeans, but there is little, if any, evidence to support this.
The word aborigines mean any original people that lived in any area. If you mean Australian aborigines they call the time of creation Dreamtime.
Maori Aborigines
Charles Sturt did not set out to specifically find either the Murray or the Darling River. The purpose of his expedition was to determine where all the westward flowing rivers led.Australia was an usual country, and quite unlike any others, in that its rivers all seemed to flow away from the coast instead of towards the coast, as they do on other continents. Sturt set out to discover where, exactly, these rivers emptied, and whether or not there was an inland sea. While doing so, he discovered first the Darling River, then the Murray River on another expedition shortly afterwards.
