The exact date is not known but there is evidence that aborigines were living in and colonizing Australia 40,000 (forty thousand) years ago.
In response to this common answer. There is no real evidence that Aboriginals came across from another country, its pure speculation. However, there is evidence of Aboriginal people being here from over 120,000 years ago from the artifacts found up North.
The Aboriginal people have been in existence in Australia for the past 50,000 years. Twenty thousand years before that these people migrated out of Africa to Australia.
Estimates vary from around 5,000 years to 20,000 years.
The Aboriginal people never did invade Australia, The British people did. Aboriginal people roamed Australia long before the British/white people did. (:
Aboriginal Australians lived in Australia with kangaroo's long before Europeans. Since the Aboriginal people kept no written history, we cannot narrow it down to a single person.

The people now known as the Aboriginal people of Australia were the first to arrive, but not as long as 70000 years ago.

Hard to say. An 'aboriginal' refers to a member of an older, usually ancient, group of people that lived or live off the land. In the USA, there are American Aboriginals, for instance, who are wrongly called, "Indians". There are groups of people in Australia who lived there far, far longer than the white people. They are Australian Aboriginals, or simply, aborigines. The aboriginal people in Canada are the Inuit and the Metis people. They have wrongly been called, "Eskimos" for a long, long time. The people who lived in what is now called, Japan" are the Ainu people. They are aboriginals who live on the northern island of Japan and in nearby Russia. The Philippines were occupied by an aboriginal group of people from Malaya, far before the white explorers discovered them. Taiwan also has aboriginal people who probably came there thousands of years ago from mainland China. So, you see how it is hard to answer your question - there may be as many as 100 aborinal languages.
