If you are asking about pandemic influenza infecting the Australian aboriginal people, the answer is probably through contact with non-aboriginal people. Australia was its own isolated little land with almost no contact with the rest of the world until the colonial expansion era. Because of this, viruses like the influenza virus which originated in Asia or Africa wouldn't have traveled there until European colonists brought it with them.
