How did the indigenous get to Australia when the continents drifted apart much earlier?

In: 4730

Answer 1

Based on a really quick visual estimation of google earth I would say that you can get from main land Asia to Australia by going from island to island and no single journey between landmasses is much further than the 90 mile distance from America to Cuba. People came to america from Cuba on tiny make shift rafts. In fact you barely have to go more than 50 miles on any single voyage

So basically, island hopping
