Yup. They live in the Simpson desert, a region known as Outback, in central Australia.
The species was brought from India in 1860 to accompany explorers such as Burke and Wills when they crossed Australia, because of their great endurance, strength and hydro economy in dry places. Nowadays, they form great flocks and give prejudice to farmers, ruining their fences, for example.
