Yes, I suspect the city encroached on them to a large extent - but I'm glad they've stuck around. One of the nearby "towns" is called Kangaroo Ground... ah, and I went to try and find out why, and found this: The village location was settled in 1842, being on hilly but relatively open woodland with good soil. It attracted grazing kangaroos – hence the place name. So it sounds like they've "always" been there!
