Depends entirely on the size of it. I was in a land cruiser years ago and we hit a big one front on at 110kmh. It crushed the front in, smashed the windscreen and a portion of the roof above.. new car was needed.

With small ones though, depending what you're driving it's a repair job. Most people here have pick ups with bull bars, hit a small one in those and you're all good..

Where I live roos are extremely common, they get hit daily.

Can add to this.

If you're in Australia and in a city, make sure you do some country driving while learning. The roads are much more dangerous, full of pot holes and roos around.

All hazards change and it pays to know what to look for. All it takes is one roo in the middle of the road and you're not gonna be having a good time.
