About 18,000 BC during the Last Glacial Maximum Ice Age sea levels were much lower and the floor of the waters, known as the Arufula Shelf, formed a dry land bridge linking Australia and New Guinea. Entire populations walked from continent to continent. However, Austalian Aborigines had already arrived in Australia about 50,000 years ago.
