Whether it’s a sleepy koala, a colourful bird in your backyard, a scurrying lizard or a much loved echidna, we want to see it!
Recently we did a story on a cute native species which was locally extinct, but is now making a comeback thanks to the Marna Bangarra rewilding project. They are called brush-tailed bettongs (known as yalgiri to the local Narungga people) on South Australia’s Yorke Peninsula.
We’ll be collecting community favourites for two weeks before opening up a public vote to find South Australia’s most-loved native animal of 2026.
