If it was between 130k and 190k years ago, it could be either Neanderthals or Moderns, depending in which direction they came from. That's a bit late in the timeline for Heidelbergensis, though.
In that time frame, Neanderthals owned Europe, Moderns owned from the middle east and parts of Central Asia down through the Maghreb in North Africa and had infiltrated into the northern parts of East Africa from their source in Southwest Asia.. Denisovans had a lock on most of Asia, and there were a few relict populations of H. Erectus in the area of Southeast Asia. Heidelbergensis either went extinct or transformed into Neanderthals and Denisovans around 250k to 300k years ago, and Erectus may have survived in isolated pockets in Southeast Asia up to around 15k years ago.
Humans appeared in Australia around 65k years ago, and they had to get there by boat, too in order to cross the Wallace Line.
The mention of the prevalence of hand axes leads me to think Neanderthals, coming from the north. Their Acheulean tool kit was heavy on hand axes.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
