The Australian Aborigines are thought to be the first Australians, arriving here from Asia anywhere between 40,000 and 100,000 years ago, depending on who you choose to believe.

There is a relatively new school of thought that the Australian Aborigines may have displaced an earlier group of people, but the evidence is scant and open to interpretation.
