Bennett, Dale Nimmo and Jim Radford contributed ideas in previous collaborative work. We warmly thank many landholders, Parks Victoria and DSE for access to properties. Surveys were carried out under animal ethics permits BSCI/2007/05, BSCI-2010-03, CEAE 14-08, and research permit 10007096. RM conceived the study. The authors thank the Associate Editor (Andy Bennett) and two anonymous referees for their most helpful comments, which much improved the MS.
