Discovery Circle: Great Koala Count 2
Can you help us to count koalas on November 26 or 27?
The second South Australian Great Koala Count will be held on Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th of November, 2016.
Koalas are a common sight in many areas of South Australia, but it can be surprisingly difficult to count them! We need your help to record where they are and how many there are. You can count koalas in your garden, along your street, in a park, at your school, or on your property!
