Indigenous Australians did have knowledge, of other existing countries, with many groups having established trade with nearby islands. It wasn't necessary to their way of life to identify a whole continent however, given that they did not have any concept of a continent and to them the lands were divided and shared by all living things. They identified only what was necessary to their locality.
There are numerous dialects for so many different tribes in so many different regions. There is no "one" word for Australia in aboriginal language as there are so many languages. There are individual words for "land" or "earth" (as in dirt/soil) or Mother/Earth, but the word will be isolated to that tribal group's region and be a different word in another region.
Indigenous Australians did not have any knowledge, whatsoever, of any other existing countries, therefore did not find any reason in naming their home.
