Answer 2

i just read about this. alot of island hopping by the austronesians. mostly migrating through trade. but interestingly Australia didnt manage to get much of that action due to its inability to have a stable enviroment for planting. nor did it have much domestication. an interesting fact i found out though was that Madagascar was inhabited first by austronesians before africans did. and they brought Bananas and Yams with them along with their features and language.
