Hello everyone,
The Great Southern Bioblitz is back for another year. After an amazing event in 2020 the Southern Hemisphere once again gets the opportunity for a large-scale BioBlitz during its Spring. This year's observation period will run from October 22nd-25th, the perfect time for birds, flowering plants, bugs and more.
Spring is the peak time for most species with plants flowering following the cool damp winter and before the heat of summer. It's also the time when most fauna species are active. Large areas of Australia have had a wet winter and early spring this year, so the conditions should be perfect for you to get out and explore your local area to discover what’s around. So, please get involved in this event.
The goal is for members of the community and visitors to the Cardinia Shire to record as many species as possible during the event dates. Participants are encouraged to submit all observations of plants, animals, insects etc. and it doesn’t matter if they’re from conservation areas, parks or even your backyard. It all counts and will help to demonstrate the diversity of species that call the area home.
Anyone can participate in the Bioblitz, whether as an individual, a family or as a member of an organisation.
This project has been setup to bring together all of the amazing observations that residents / visitors to the Cardinia Shire will take during the Bioblitz, and also as a way to see how how other members of this great community are going.

Do we use the inaturalist app. to download the photos for the Biobliz
Hi @vivien55 ,
Thanks for your message,
You can upload photos in two ways. If you download the iNaturalist app to your phone you can the take photos through bit and them upload them directly to your account. Alternatively, you can take photos of things using your camera, then when you get home copy the photos onto your computer and then upload them to iNaturalist by logging on to iNat via your browser. I tend to do it the 2nd way because I take a lot of photos and like to edit / crop them before loading them.
iNaturalist have a help page that explians how you can upload observations => https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/getting+started
Thank you,
Tony
