QuestaGame app
NPWS has installed around 400 nest boxes in fire-affected areas of Warrumbungle National Park. Each nest box has a unique identification number and provides important nesting sites for birds and animals that make their homes in tree hollows - including parrots, cockatoos, gliders, possums, and bats.
With the free QuestaGame app you can follow a nest box quest and help us monitor which species are using them. All sightings go into the Atlas of Living Australia and NSW National Parks' database of animal sightings.
How it works:
- When you're in Warrumbungle National Park, open the app and click on Quests
- Search or scroll for the Warrumbungle nest box quests
- Choose a nest box quest to join and follow the quest trail
- Upload any sightings as you go
BioCollect app
Capture nature in action with the free BioCollect app. We've installed 3 snap and share photo points at Whitegum lookout, Pincham carpark and Wambelong Nature walking track giving you the chance to share your photos online. As the photo gallery grows, it offers a unique window into how Warrumbungle National Park is recovering from the 2013 bushfires over time.
How it works:
- Download the free BioCollect app and search for the Warrumbungle Snap and Share project.
- Take a photo at one of the photo points in Warrumbungle National Park
- Use the app to upload your photos to the online picture gallery at the Atlas of Living Australia
You can also register and upload your pictures from the photo points to the Warrumbungle Snap and Share project in BioCollect without downloading the BioCollect app.
