Kangaroo emblems and popular culture
Kangaroo emblems and popular culture deals with how the kangaroo has become a recognisable symbol of Australia, both within Australia itself, and internationally. It also deals with the various uses which have been made of the image and name of the kangaroo.
== European first encounters==
The kangaroo was considered a unique oddity when Captain Cook's HMB ''Endeavour'' arrived back in England in 1771 with a specimen on board. Over time it has come to symbolise Australia and Australian values.〔Harper, Melissa and White, Richard (eds) (2010). Symbols of Australia, p. 28-29, UNSW Press, Sydney: National Museum of Australia Press, Canberra. ISBN 978-1-921410-50-5〕
Joseph Banks, the naturalist on the ''Endeavour'' voyage, commissioned George Stubbs to paint a portrait of the kangaroo specimen. When the official account of the voyage was published in 1773, it was illustrated with an engraving of Stubbs' kangaroo. From that time on, the kangaroo quickly came to symbolise the Australian continent, appearing in exhibitions, collections, art and printed works across Europe.〔(Symbols of Australia: Kangaroo, National Museum of Australia )〕
