At least two other groups nearby.

And others still. Around Canberra, this sort of country often has about 2-3 EGKs/ha, ie 200-300 per sq km. When you walk through an area, many are not seen.

They are not in big groups at the moment.

Yes, big groups rarely form (unless you drive them into one). My big numbers, e.g. 300/sq km are comprised of many small groups.
