Project Seek

 

What is Project Seek?


A project focused on educating myself and others by raising awareness of wildlife in the greater Brisbane area.

When?


The project starts today (1st January 2026) and will run until I have crossed off every species in the book, which may take a longggg time. At this stage, I am excluding fish, worms, crustaceans, and molluscs. I may add these later on.

Why?


This is a great opportunity to utilise a documented guide to increase my own education, play a fun game with it, and educate and entertain others.

How?


Every time I find a species and have captured a quality photo of it, I will cross it off the list. At this stage, I will choose a specific area to explore, and may visit that location several times, at different times of the day, to find the species.

Research


I will be utilising:
