Have done smth By now?

Hi! Everyone.

Could you tell me whether the following sentences are correct?

1-The children have usually gone to sleep by now. (But today they are still awake)

2-Me and my friend are going somewhere. We meet a stranger on our way. He was a total stranger to me but my friend knows him well and tells me that "he (the stranger) has been living in Australia all this time" that's why I don't know him.

My question is; is the sentence in bold uttered by my friend correct?

Thanks
