Answer:
There are millions of kangaroos in Australia. They are a very common sight in the outback, bushland and even the fringes of some settlements.

Kangaroo populations vary widely from year to year in Australia. For example, due to drought conditions, Red kangaroo numbers in NSW dropped from 500,000 in 2002 to 110,000 in 2005.

2007 figures for the kangaroo and wallaroo/euro populations in Australia estimated there were 24,008,610 members of both species in NSW, Qld, South Australia and Western Australia. Figures for Tasmania, Northern Territory and Victoria are not included.

These figures do not take into account all the smaller members of the kangaroo family, including wallaroos, all the species of wallabies, quokkas, rufous rat-kangaroos and pademelons right down to the tiny desert-dwelling musky rat kangaroos.
