The oldest human fossils found in Australia are approx 40,000 years old the oldest other animal bones are stromatolites at approx 3.5 milion years.
40,000 years is like a microsecond in astronomical time. No way did human life begin in what is now Australia.

Stromatolites are algae and the figure you were looking for is 3.5 billion years, not 3.5 million years.
