I can't find any source talking about whether or not Indonesian peoples - the Malay, the Javans, etc., ever explored Australia. Considering how close it was, and the fact that they were generally seafaring peoples, it seems plausible for there to have been some Indonesian exploration of the Australian continent's northern coast. However, due to the desert, they may see no reason to colonize. Maybe Buddhists, or, more likely, in the later eras Muslims, would try to convert the aborigines?
