It is not known when the indigenous people of Australia first saw kangaroos, as there are no records of when they arrived in Australia.

The first sighting by Europeans was in 1770, when james Cook's ship, the Endeavour, was wrecked on the Great Barrier Reef, and Cook was forced to spend five weeks on land, repairing his ship.

Kangaroos probably evolved from an earlier marsupial during the Paleogene period. They were definitely established in Australia by the later Neocene period.
