Need a break from all the noise? Relax on picnic blankets in the Story Nook and read a book about, yes, you guessed it...Nature!

Northern and Yorke Landscape Board - Barossa BioBlitz 2026
8:30am - 5pm
The Northern and Yorke Landscape Board is inviting community members to swap household forms for gumboots and nets at this year's Waterbug Bioblitz events in Clare and the Barossa. A bioblitz is essentially a census for nature, a one-day effort to record as many living things as possible in a specific location.
Instead of counting people, participants will work alongside aquatic ecologists to tally water bugs, measure water quality and help uncover the health of local waterways. You'll learn from experts on how to collect water bug samples from pools and watercourses, plus measure water quality along our local waterways.
No experience is needed, just bring your curiosity, sturdy shoes and a sense of adventure.
