An aerial survey of 966,000 km2 of the arid/semi-arid rangelands of Queensland and New South Wales in the winter of 1992 indicated a minimum feral goat population of almost 1 million animals (density 0.97±0.12/km2). Observed density (f standard error) was higher in New South Wales (1.51±0.23/km2) than in Queensland (0.47±0.09/km2).
