Abstract

An aerial survey of eastern grey kangaroo (Mecropusgiganteus) density was 2onducted during August 1979 for a 47,100 km2 strip of southern, inland Queensland. A population estimate of 694,180 + 5 3,065 (Y + SE) was obtained. LANDSAT band 5 imagery was used to defme broadscale habitat zones for the study area. An analysis was made of the relationship between kangaroo distribu- tion and the habitat zones. Results indicated that habitat data at this scale forms a useful base for the design of aerial surveys.
