With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Queensland Barred Bandicoot sighting in Daintree National Park on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 11th most-seen of the 19 mammals we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August–September and November
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Queensland Barred Bandicoot in Daintree National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June and December–April, the lowest months. Those are among Daintree National Park's driest months, with about 60 mm of rain a month against 380 mm in January.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Queensland Barred Bandicoot sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Daintree National Park, in our data
Daintree National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Queensland Barred Bandicoot sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Queensland Barred Bandicoot is recorded against all the mammals logged in Daintree National Park (13 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
