Why are monotremes found in austrillia?
Monotremes were among the earliest mammals to evolve. However, in most of the world, all monotremes went extinct as a result of competition with more advanced placental mammals. Australia and New Guinea, however, have been so isolated that there were nearly no placental mammals (except for bats) until humans introduced them. The lack of competition from placental mammals allowed monotremes to survive in Australia.

How many desert rat kangaroos in Australia?
There are believed to be no desert rat-kangaroos still remaining in Australia, although it is uncertain whether or not the desert rat kangaroo is truly extinct. It was only discovered in 1841 from 3 specimens collected from somewhere in South Australia (Gould's description of the type locality is very vague). This was the last record of the species for ninety years until it was rediscovered in 1931 by Hedley Herbert Finlayson, Curator of Mammals at the South Australian Museum. It was formally listed as extinct nationally under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. In Queensland it was formally listed as extinct Extinct in the Wild under the Nature Conservation Act 1992. However, in South Australia it was listed as Endangered under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972, and has not been formally recognised as extinct.
