I'm pretty sure that kangaroos aren't that viable for farming, but emu and camel might be worth looking into. Might want to genetically speed up emu growth a wee bit. I don't know how long it takes camel to mature, though. We mostly started cooking them because they were pests. I'm having difficulty thinking of a better meat-and-fibre animal than sheep for that climate (and thus, grass and stuff).
Aloe vera should grow well. Mango and passionfruit and other standard fruits. Grapes! Sugarcane and cotton, maybe? Wattle, finger lime, Davidson's plum, emu apples, riberry, New Zealand spinach maybe, lemon aspen, mountain pepper, macadamia.
If there's danger of bushfires then I'd pick some eucalypts etc. that come back quickly from fire.
