Who was the first Aborigine to come to Australia?

Australian Aborigines first arrived on the continent around 50,000 years ago so it is impossible to know who was the first Aborigine to have arrived. It is like asking who was the first Chinese person in China or who was the first Navajo to arrive in the USA. There are simply no records of these things in human history.
