Download the QuestaGame app and submit sightings of the life you find (animals, plants or fungi) within Australia. Or you can ID sightings through the app, or in QuestaGame's Bio-Expertise Engine.
Share your adventures with the #greataussiebioquest and #scienceweek hashtags on social media!

Know your Quokkas from your Quolls?
That's great! Then why not identify sightings through the Bio-Expertise Engine? You'll be helping budding naturalists learn, and ensuring high quality data for research (see QuestaGame's data on GBIF.org). You'll could even win the Champion Identifier prize!
And why not choose an Australian environmental group as your cause through our Pays to Know Nature Fund? You'll be earning them rewards for each correct ID you provide.
