For context, Canberra has about 400K-500K people, to give you an idea of city size. Though it's a planned city and has a lot of natural spaces.

Roos in the suburbs aren't really common, but also wouldn't be a 'holy shit' moment. There's a good chance any large bush area has them, and many of them are adjacent to suburbs. They aren't generally the kind of animal that is 'human friendly', so you're not going to see them doing things like begging for food.

Agreed, not every suburb but I grew up backing on to Mt Ainslie as did most of my friends and moved to Gungahlin early. Theres plenty of them out there. My high school regularly had roo poo everywhere and even a dead one once. Id say theyre common depending on the suburb. We are the Bush capital after all.
