Absolutely. The outback and bush roads are littered with kangaroo carcasses. Dusk and dawn are the most common times to hit a kangaroo, as that's when they cross the roads in search of food. Many outback and bush drivers will fit their cars with "roo bars", designed to deflect the impact of a kangaroo.

What do kangaroos tell us about Australia and Australians?
The kangaroo is the faunal emblem of the Northern Territory, Australia. Although it is not the faunal emblem of Australia (as Australia has no official faunal emblem), it is one of Australia's native animals and is a recognised (unofficial) national symbol of Australia. The kangaroo is featured on Australia's coat of arms and the boxing kangaroo, another unofficial yet famous Australian emblem, was derived from the kangaroo. The kangaroo is commonly seen on Australia's national airline, Qantas. Australian pride comes from the fact that one of the reasons the kangaroo was used for the coat of arms is that it has not been observed taking a backward step. Even "bull bars" - strong bars located on the front of 4WD vehicles and utes - are usually referred to as "roo bars" as their primary function is to protect the vehicle and driver who may hit a kangaroo at night. Kangaroos also tell us that certain animals have unique adaptations to survive in the harshest of climates (see the related question below).
