The record lists data from surveys conducted to monitor Kangaroo activity in the TGB Osborn (Koonamore) Vegetation Reserve (or Koonamore Vegetation Reserve (KVR)) since 1960s. The kangaroo transect was set up in 1968 by Andrew Smith and Bob Lange to monitor kangaroo numbers on the Reserve and give a qualitative indication how numbers fluctuate from year to year. The transect runs east to west through the sandy dune areas of the southern part of the reserve, where kangaroos tend to congregate (inside), and extends some distance into the paddock to the west of the western boundary (outside). The dataset ranges from 1968 to 2022 and comprises the total number of kangaroo scats, which includes fresh and old scats. Goat and sheep pellets, if present, were later included in the count.

This is version 2.0 of the Koonamore Kangaroo activity data release and supersedes any previous versions.
