Kangaroos do not actually stand for anything. They symbolise Australia, although they are not the country's official faunal emblem (Australia has no national faunal emblem). Kangaroos are associated with Australia because they are native to Australia and readily recognisable animals.

The word "kangaroo" is derived from the original indigenous word "gangurru", which is simply the aboriginal word for kangaroos. It does not have any other meaning, and does not stand for anything else.
