It is generally held that Australian Aboriginal peoples originally came from
Asia via insular
Southeast Asia (now Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei,
East Timor, Indonesia, and the Philippines) and have been in Australia for at least 45,000–50,000 years. On the basis of research at the
Nauwalabila I and Madjedbebe archaeological sites in the
Northern Territory, however, some scientists have claimed that early humans arrived considerably sooner, perhaps as early as 65,000 to 80,000 years ago. That conclusion is consistent with the argument made by some scholars that the migration of anatomically modern humans out of Africa and
adjacent areas of
Southwest Asia to South and Southeast Asia along the so-called Southern Route predated migration to Europe. Other scholars question the earlier dating of human arrival in Australia, which is based on the use of optically stimulated luminescence (measurement of the last time the sand in question was exposed to sunlight), because the Northern Territory sites are in areas of termite activity, which can displace
artifacts downward to older levels.

I went to a Museum in Columbo that had Boomerangs and other artefacts that dated back yonks that looks like Australian Boomerangs andother artefacts.
