So why did the original "emigrants" from Africa head towards Australia?  What drove them? After all, its not as if they could have realized where they were headed. Why didn't they stop somewhere along the six thousand mile route to Australia? Why did they keep going?

@relax4007 It wasn't one migration done in a lifetime it was spread out over thousands of years and countless generations. What drove them? No doubt food and the need for resources, perhaps climate change was involved, it's a question that only the people themselves can answer but their motives are the same as ours!
