How did early humans get to islands like Australia? From what I've read they used boats, but isn't that a long distance, and how did they survive the voyage? How did they know there was going to be land?

land bridges nigga. its how we got to japan. not to mention that places like australia are reachable from island hopping the pacific.
The real question is how did kangaroos get to australia from noahs ark after the flood even though there is no fossil evidence of migrating kangaroos across the pacific :^)

Come to my country and visit the museum. In there they explain everything about life inside a XV century boat.

I'm more impressed the Polynesians found Hawaii.

Just think how hard it was to find those incredibly tiny islands in the Pacific.

The islands themselves are much smaller today than they were tens of thousands of years ago. The Malay peninsula, Java, and Borneo were all one land mass (known as Sunda) until about 10,000 BC. Australia and New Guinea were also one land mass (known as Sahul) until around the same time. In addition, India's coast extended significantly further than it does today.

Why did Polynesians and Filipino/Indonesian/Malaysians' ancestors avoided Australia?

They knew it was shit and so fucked off.

Srsly though, some bits of the australian coast merge with the desert. Its possible that after finding a long stretch of NOTHING they paddled off to somewhere nice.

There was nothing Australia can offer to them.
