Human occupation of northern Australia by 65,000 years ago

Nature
Regional chronology
A chronology of first settlement, living Indigenous knowledge, migrations, languages, navigation, polities, colonial encounters, resistance, war, disaster, decolonization and climate change across Australia, the Pacific, Aotearoa New Zealand and the circumpolar Arctic.

Occupation deposits at Madjedbebe date to at least about 65,000 years ago and preserve stone tools, ochre and plant-processing evidence within living Mirarr Country; reaching Sahul necessarily involved water crossings, but no single route is established.
