Kangaroo was a popular food for the Australian Aborigines anywhere on the mainland.
Kangaroo originates from the word, ganurra - used by the aborigines from Queensland, Australia
Both the kangaroo and the dingo were in Australia in the 1800s. The kangaroo is native to Australia, and dingoes were brought over by the Aborigines, although it is not certain when.

There were no issues or wars between James Cook and the Australian Aborigines.
The Australian Aborigines never tried to kill James Cook. Cook was killed by the Hawaiian natives.
It was Sir Joseph Banks who actually was the first European to make notes on the kangaroo. Banks travelled with James Cook on the Endeavour.
The word "kangaroo" is believed to have come from the Aboriginal word gangurru, a Guugu Yimidhirr word referring to the Grey Kangaroo. Captain James Cook's botanist, Sir Joseph Banks, first recorded the word as "kangaru" when the Endeavour was damaged on the Great Barrier Reef near modern-day Cooktown, and required the crew to stay on the mainland for almost 7 weeks repairing their ship. This gave Banks ample time to make copious notes on the fauna and flora, and to be certain of the Aboriginal word for kangaroo, even though he had trouble translating it into written form. It could be that "Kangaroo" is the name of a specific type of kangaroo in one Australian aboriginal language. Europeans applied the name to all similar creatures.
There are many words for kangaroo in the Australian aboriginal language. The Aborigines of Australia had over 250 languages between their 600+ cultural groups prior to European settlement.The most commonly known word is gangurru. It is the word from which "kangaroo" is derived.
