Real question: are they just...everywhere? I've seen the crossing signs (and the one hit by a car in "Talk to Me") and have been curious ever since if they are just like giant squirrels or something and you see them in neighborhoods and suburbs, or is it really only farther out in rural areas?

They can be found in some suburban areas but the vast majority of Australians will basically never see a kangaroo anywhere but a zoo. In rural and regional areas they're far more common, and if you live on a farm then you fucking hate them.

Have seen them on multiple occasions in the CBD of Canberra and yes the were roos and not public servants
