No.  The fossil record indicates that human origins lie in Africa.

Answer 3

No, genetic evidence points to Africa.

Answer 4

no....

Answer 5

Modern man, Homo sapiens sapiens, appeared roughly 80,000-60,000 yr BP in East Africa.

"Homo sapiens idaltu is an extinct subspecies of Homo sapiens that lived almost 160,000 years ago in Pleistocene Africa. Idaltu is the Afar for 'elder, first born'. The fossilized remains of H. s. idaltu were discovered at Herto Bouri in the Middle Awash site of Ethiopia's Afar Triangle in 1997 by Tim White, but were first unveiled in 2003...Despite the archaic features, these specimens are postulated to represent the direct ancestors of modern Homo sapiens sapiens, which according to the recent 'Out of Africa' theory developed shortly after this period (Khoisan mitochondrial divergence dated not later than 110,000 B.P.) in Eastern Africa, and as such, to be the oldest representative of the H. sapiens species found so far."

Here's something on the the populating of modern humans of Australia.

"History

Main article: History of Australia

The first human habitation of Australia is estimated to have occurred between 42,000 and 48,000 years ago.[7] These first Australians were possibly the ancestors of the current Indigenous Australians; they may have arrived via land bridges and short sea-crossings from present-day South-East Asia.

"Indigenous Australians are descendants of the first known human inhabitants of the Australian continent and its nearby islands. The term includes both the Torres Strait Islanders and the Aboriginal People, who together make up about 2.4% of Australia's modern population. The latter term is usually used to refer to those who live in mainland Australia, Tasmania, and some of the other adjacent islands. The Torres Strait Islanders are indigenous to the Torres Strait Islands between Australia and New Guinea. Indigenous Australians are recognized to have arrived between 70,000 and 40,000 years ago, though the lower end of this range (50,000 BC) has wider acceptance."

Answer 6

The first problem is humans don't appear in Australia until 40 some thousand years ago. Then, they are fully human.

What's missing is the evidence that Africa has. More primitive hominids. That includes apes.

So no evidence for an origin of humans in Australia and lots to say they arrived here from somewhere else
