It is definitely more diverse than Europe and probably on par with or even more diverse than Central America. I think you should consider increasing it to at least 20. New Guinea alone is a biodiversity hotspot.

1. Tasmanian devil
2. Quokka
3. Short-beaked echidna
4. Common brushtail possum
5. Matschie's tree-kangaroo
6. Eastern quoll
7. Frilled lizard
8. Central bearded dragon
9. Monster mantis
10. Giant prickly stick insect
11. Sugar glider
12. Kowari
13. Cockatoo, any
14. King quail
15. Magpie goose
16. Australian pelican
17. Black swan
18. North Island brown kiwi
19. South Island takahe
20. Little blue penguin

Even with 20 spots I had to leave some iconic species out... I'd say 25 is ideal.

Apologies to perentie, thorny devil, numbat, kea, kookaburra and others. I don't think you'll get many votes for Polynesian and Micronesian animals with such limited spots.

I don't know if you already added my extra five, but here's a reminder:

21. Perentie
22. Thorny devil
23. Numbat
24. Kea
25. Laughing kookaburra
