Emus are often seen in pine plantations around reservoirs in the Adelaide
Hills. I think they feel safe in these restricted access places.

Staying at Nelson, Vict for a few days. Quite surprised yesterday whilst
driving through pine forests (not sure if P.radiata) just east of Nelson to
see 3 different groups of emus (2, 3 and 5 birds) feeding in the cleared
area between the pines and the road and slipping into the pine forest when
we approached. I didn't think there would be emus in this country and most
surprised to see them living in pines. I am not suggesting that pine
plantations might be the saviour of our endangered coastal emus south of
Yamba, however...
