This cant be correct. Date or Canberra location must be wrong. Because I saw in the comments by several people yesterday, on the cull announcement, that no EGKs are left in Canberra. They know better than government and better than ecologists because they actually go out in the reserves, they say. :-)

The photo shows a kangaroo tagged as part of the contraceptive trial. There were at least five roos in the group. My next sighting was 50.

@Mike I think Claire and the others in the Gonacon research team treated and tagged forty more after the local anti-cull guru (who lives nearby) said publicly that no roos were left at Farrer Ridge. This kind of disagreement about numbers of wildlife amazes me continually.
