There certainly are. Brumbies are found from New South Wales north to most parts of Queensland, parts of the Northern Territory, west into regions of Western Australia and parts of South Australia.
It is estimated that Australia's wild brumby population increases by 20% every year. They cause massive environmental and ecological damage.

"Brumby" is the term for wild horses in Australia. The brumbies in Australia were not introduced in their current form. They are descendants of horses that were released, or that escaped, into Australian bushlands when the early settlers arrived. Brumbies are the result of various horse breeds being introduced into Australia over time, and inter-breeding to make very hardy wild hirses capable of surviving in Australia's harsh conditions, whether the outback, the mountains or the coastal regions. The very first horses came to Australia on the First Fleet, in 1788. Brumbies come from the stock of horses all over the world, including South Africa, British draught horses, thoroughbreds and Arabians.
