No. The ostrich is native to Africa, not Australia.Two karge, Flightless Birds found in Australia are the emu and the cassowary. Both of these are ratites, like the ostrich, but very different species. Emus and cassowaries are smaller than the ostrich, and do not really look like the ostrich at all.
