The Young Naturalist: Nature Detectives

Young Naturalists will become Nature Detectives by discovering the secret nocturnal adventures of Pamela the Long-nosed Bandicoot (Perameles nasuta) in our Sydney backyards and bushland. 

Join our Detective Team to delve into the secret world of bandicoots-

* Solve the clues and decipher the codes to identify the plants, fungi and insects Pamela visited during the night with our magnifying lenses and microscopes.
* Draw and record your findings scientifically in your Young Naturalist Sketch Book.
* Venture into the forest grids at Sydney Olympic Park to discover the fantastic fungi, incredible insects and diverse plants that provide native habitats for Pamela and our Sydney wildlife.
* Explore Nature Photography, as we focus our Canon cameras on the plants, fungi and insects that provide habitat and food for wildlife in Sydney Olympic Park.
* Become a Citizen Scientist by contributing your photographs to iNaturalist Nature Discovery Projects.
* Get up close & personal with our LIVE Spiny Leaf Insects (Extatosoma tiaratum).
