Ancestors of many of them may have arrived 150,000 years ago or much earlier, even possibly as much as 700,000 years ago. Even during an ice-age, when the level of the sea was lower than today, the Australian continent was separated from the islands of Indonesia, by open sea wide enough to present a barrier to plants and animals.
