We hope that the Somalis are the ones who discovered Australia, but you must be realistic. The closest islands to you are Socotra and the Seychelles, and those who arrived there first were the Arabs, then the Indians.
As for Madagascar, the first migrations began from Malay And they crossed that ocean because they were great sailors
Then the Arabs arrived in the ninth century Then came the Bantu, who learned sailing from the Arabs and settled on the island
