Great Southern Bioblitz Explorers

Welcome to the Great Southern Bioblitz 2026: Whittlesea!

The City of Whittlesea community first joined the Great Southern Bioblitz in 2021, and 2026 will mark their 6th consecutive year contributing to the largest coordinated nature survey across the Southern Hemisphere. Each year, local participants help build an increasingly rich picture of the region’s biodiversity, one photo at a time. You never know what you’ll find, sometimes a closer look changes everything
