History The Aboriginal people were the first to in habitant in Australia. Most anthropologists currently believe they migrated to the continent 50,000 years ago. Tasmania is a island offshore of Australia. It was connected long ago then the sea raised and separated the two. Way before 1500AD Australia was known as west (or east it depends how you look at it) because it was the only continent over there. Now it is southwest or southeast (again it depends how you look at it). But is south for sure because it is below the equator.
