Abstract
This paper outlines the methods and results of a study to assess the degree of difficulty imposed by the landscape on livestock mustering in Northern Australia. This was undertaken as part of a larger collaborative study between officers of the then Bureau of Animal Health, the Bureau of Agricultural Economics and CSIRO to ascertain likely costs and benefits of the Brucellosis and Tuberculosis Eradication campaign in Northern Australia. A sample of 1806 grid cells was used to describe and analyse the landscape of the study area. Data for each of the landscape components (landform, lithology, vegetative cover and water features) were evaluated for the degree of difficulty they imposed on livestock mustering and the results analysed. The results are reported by states and study area.
