On the 19th of June 2026, South Coast NRM welcomed around 150 community members to Retravision Stadium in Albany for a Threaten Species Wildlife Quiz Night; an evening designed to raise awareness of threatened species in the South Coast Region. The free event attracted 19 tables of participants, who enjoyed a light dinner and an entertaining evening of friendly competition. Expertly led by the Quiz Mater Vicki Brown, the night featured prizes for the winning team, runners-up and, of course, the coveted wooden spoon award!
Across eight quiz rounds and two bonus rounds, participants tested their knowledge on a mix of general knowledge, sport, music and movies, alongside questions about the South Cast’s threatened Fauna. Species featured throughout the evening included Gilbert’s Potoroo, Western Ground Parrot, Noisy Scrubbird, as well as other threatened mammals, Birds, Fish, Reptiles, Frogs and Invertebrates.
The Quiz Night was developed to engage a broader cross-section of the community than traditional threatened species workshops typically reach. By combining entertainment with conservation messaging, the event encouraged participants to learn more about local threatened species and the challenges these species face. South Coast NRM thanks everyone who attended and contributed to making the evening such a success!
This fun event was funded by the Australian Government Natural Heritage Trust and delivered by South Coast NRM, a member of the Commonwealth Regional Delivery Partners Panel, as part of our Threatened Fauna Project.
