I'm inventing a time machine for next year's event so I can circumvent NZ's timezone advantage

@gsbadmin how can I add my observations please? I'm just outside the Greater Perth area in the shire of Gingin Western Australia.

Thankyou @thebeachcomber , I contacted Stephen Fricker and he suggested that one to me. It's a little lonely on there , I'm the only one.

Just North of the Equator is still counted as Southern hemisphere?

What's the cut-off date & time for posting observations taken during the Blitz period, please?

Posted by bushboy over 1 year ago

@bushboy 2 weeks from yesterday, up until midnight

@dianastuder we decided a while back that if a country was in the southern hemispheare then it counted (with the exception of places like France, in that case territories are ok

@thebeachcomber Thanks!

@gsbadmin most of the country is North of the Equator, which passes thru the Southern tip of the country.

Need a third Bioblitz for Equatorial countries.
