The oldest dated item found in Australia dates back to 47,000 B.C. and scientists estimate that humans could have been on the continent as far back as 175,000 B.C. (Dortch 1994 - Journal of Royal Society of Western Australia 77:23-32)
Scientists, can't exactly tell, but most trustworthy sites say 30,000-50,000 years ago.
long time ago
Evidence suggests that Aborigines arrived in Australia approximately 40,000 years ago.
in the 1850-1890
No they got to Australia on foot when it was still connected to Asia.
This is not known. There are suggestions that Aborigines first arrived in Australia anywhere between 30000 and 60000 years ago. Proponents of the "young earth" theory would put the figure at around 4000 years ago.
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.
The Australian aborigines migrated from Africa around 70,000 years ago, and started living in Australia about 50,000 years ago.
European Colonists
Aborigines are the indigenous people of Australia. DNA testing has indicated that the Australian Aborigines originally came from the Indian subcontinent. They are believed to have come to Australia via the land bridges that existed thousands of years ago but which are now submerged.
Today, Australian Aborigines live in the towns and outskirts, and in the Eastern states of Australia. They comprise around 3 percent of Australia's population.
She already was in Australia, not too long ago, but i do not htink that it is a part of her Speak Now tour. Sorry! :(
are you serious? Life started billions of years ago!!! dinosaurs were on the earth millions ago, the aboriginals lived in Australia for about 60 000 years ago and the English and dutch 'discovered' Australia just over 200 years ago. Life appeared well over 100 years ago.
