Why is this a difficult question? Every island has a unique population, even recently-birthed islands. Often times animals find their way by rafting. There are other modes of transportation possible as well. It is also possible that it hadn't broken off immediately afterwards yet.

The presence of only marsupial mammals negates your idea.

Kangaroos are pretty big to raft such a distance over open ocean in numbers large enough to form a reproducing population.
