Koala Radar

Read full description

Don't ride past the locals. You traveled all the way to Adelaide for the cycling, but let’s be honest - you really want to see a koala. Koala Radar is the unofficial wildlife companion for the Tour Down Under. It's a community-driven, real-time map that answers the most important question of your ride: "Where are they hiding?" Why download Koala Radar? Live Heat Map: Sightings are colour-coded by freshness. Red pins are hot, fading to grey as the trail goes cold. One-Tap Spotting: Saw one in a gum tree? Log it instantly without stopping your Garmin. Strava Integration: Sign in with your Strava account to join the leaderboard of top spotters. Smart Alerts: Get notified when a sighting is reported nearby (so you can pull over safely). Don't rely on luck. Join the peloton of spotters and bag the ultimate KOM (King of Marsupials). Note: This app is for recreational tracking only and is not affiliated with the official Tour Down Under event.
