Between the creek crossing and Yankee Hat carpark, I'd say at least 1000 Kangaroos.

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.
