Friday 24 November – Bonus BioBlitz Day
Friday 24 November is the first day of the Great Southern BioBlitz 2023! We’ll be kicking it off with our Bonus BioBlitz Day. You can still register your interest in attending using this form.
What to do before the day
- We suggest that you create an account on iNaturalist if you don’t already have one and have a go at using it on your mobile device. You can also register for GSB23 to receive updates and qualify for a certificate.
What to bring
- A hat, sunscreen, water and mobile phone. Please bring your lunch or pick up something on the day.
How-To Sessions
- We advise that you choose a half-day session to take part in – either in the morning or the afternoon.
- Meet at UniSC outside the Innovation Centre for instructions at 9 am or 1 pm. Our experienced BioBlitzers will talk you through how to photograph and upload your sightings.
Choose a location
- There will be several locations available. However, specific details are still being finalised. Please see the map of UniSC, the Innovation Centre and surrounding bushland areas below. We will let you know where our helpers will be on the day.
- Please remember that there may not be toilet facilities at the bioblitz locations. All your activities at these locations will be at your own risk.
- To help us keep track of everyone, we will ask you to write down your name, phone number and which site you will be visiting on a sign-up sheet when you arrive.
