The Europeans thought nothing of the Aboriginals when they arrived on Australia's shores. As a matter of fact they saw Australia as empty land. Note: When William Dampier arrived in 1688, he referred to the Aborigines as "the miserablest people in the world". Like many other Europeans, he misjudged the Aborigines, not recognising their unique skills.
This is really unknown. It is generally thought to be about 40,000 years ago but there is considerable evidence of human habitation earlier than this.
No, they had no idea what Australia might have looked like. When they arrived, they thought Aboriginals were dirty looking people because they had missing front teeth. But that was only because they are signs of their initiation (a ceremony when a boy becomes a man).

It's thought that the human race originated in Africa. The ancestors of the Aboriginal people migrated out of Africa and into Asia. There are two theories about how these people made it into Australia. Sea levels were lower back then, and some think a land bridge existed. Others think the amount of water between Asia and Australia was low enough that people were able to cross it in boats, whether intentionally or by mistake. Aborigines are thought to have arrived in Australia 50,000-40,000 years ago.
They were the first in Australia. They arrived about 40,00 years ago. No-one knows the answer. I said approximately the correct answer.
The people now known as the Aboriginal people of Australia were the first to arrive, but not as long as 70000 years ago.

There are no available figures for exactly how many boat people arrived in Australia in 2010. Both the Federal government and the Opposition make different claims about the figures. The truth seems to lie between 5200 and 6000.
