There are no native ungulates (hoofed animals), primates, or terrestrial carnivorans (eg dogs, bears, cats etc) in Australia. (Dingoes are introduced to Australia, but prior to European arrival) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_placental_mammals_introduced_to_Australia
Australia is the only continent in the world to still have all three of the major groups of mammals: placentals, marsupials, and monotremes. https://australianmuseum.net.au/learn/animals/mammals/
More than half of the mammal species in Australia are marsupials. One quarter of the mammals are bats, and almost one quarter of rodents. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mammals_of_Australia
