View the Melbourne Councils Biodiversity Blitz Competition.

The Great Southern BioBlitz is an event throughout the Southern Hemisphere. Kingston partners with our neighbouring councils to participate as 'Greater Melbourne'.

During this challenge, in partnership with our neighbouring councils, we log as many species as we can to highlight the immense biodiversity across Kingston and Greater Melbourne. By doing so, we are contributing to biodiversity research across the entire Southern Hemisphere! Help us compete with cities from across the southern hemisphere by taking photos or making sound recordings of wild plants and animals using iNaturalist. Let's show the world the incredible biodiversity of Kingston and Melbourne.

Date: Friday 24 to Monday 27 October 2025
