So often we are reminded of the 50,000 year culture of the First Australians, yet it seems that in all of that time they had never learned to boil water.

According to the book The Triumph of the Nomads by Geoffrey Blainey, this is so.
The boiling of water apparently came as far south as the Torres Straight and Solomon Islands but never to mainland Australia.

Interesting!
