The Great Southern Bioblitz is getting closer. This year it’s being run from November 24th to 27th. The purpose of this event is to encourage people to engage with the natural environment that surrounds us all, and at the same time produce valuable observation records of species that can be used by scientists in their research.

Spring, with its annual flourish of life, is the ideal time of year in South Australia to discover its biodiversity. Get your cameras out and see what you can find.
