My apologies. I had been getting lists with species from the Southern Tablelands Ecosystem Park at the Arboretum. I missed seeing that I was suddenly listed for the Canberra and Southern Tablelands lists. My comment is not relevant.

Hi @Christine, you are correct. There were ~6,500 in the ~15 sq km Gudgenby Grassland last time they were counted, ie around 430/sq km. The abundant dingo population at gudgenby has only a small effect, because once a prey population reaches high density it is regulated mainly by food, not mainly by predation. Most animal predators can maintain low prey abundance, but not reduce high to low. That is a high density of kangaroos but Eastern Grey Kangaroos densities over 700/sq km have been recorded in Canberra and in Victoria.
Macropus giganteus
