When were feral pigs introduced to Australia?

There is evidence to suggest that domestic cats - which then turned feral - arrived in Australia with the Macassan traders who sought trepang (sea slugs) off Australia's northern coast some 500 years before the First Fleet of convicts and officers. Even though the First Fleet had ships' cats, some of which stayed behind in Australia when the ships moved on, cats were already a presence in Australia. Naturally, these cats turned feral once they had to fend for themselves, and with no natural predators in Australia, their population proliferated rather well.
