Abstract
An aerial survey of eastern grey kangaroo (Mecropusgiganteus) density was conducted 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 distribution and the habitat zones. Results indicated that habitat data at this scale forms a useful base for the design of aerial surveys.
