Remember, I said the animal is present in Australia, but did not originate there.
So, we're looking for a mammal that may be bigger than a house cat when fully grown. It moves (but does not necessarily walk) on four legs, but does not have hooves. It may be found in Australia, but did not originate from there. It is not a marsupial, a dingo, a wallaby, or a kiwi.

Correct, lance! Rabbits were introduced to Australia by settlers who wanted to hunt them for sport. What they didn't count on was the speed at which rabbits multiply, and their surprising ability to escape from enclosures.
The rabbit population has continued to thrive there despite various efforts taken to curb its growth.
Rabbits can vastly range in size, from dwarf breeds to giants.

I had to think for a bit about your clues, then I remembered the story about the rabbits. Anyway, ok, I am thinking of an animal.
