Best Answer

Aborigians or Indigenous Australians have been on that continent at least 40,000 years and that is even before the continent was discovered by Dutch explorers in 17th century and that is even before British came to Australia in late 18th century.

The real question should be; "WHEN" DID ABORIGIANS CAME TO AUSTRALIA?
