Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Nobbi sighting in Hattah-Kulkyne National Park on a given day, based on 29 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 6th most-seen of the 19 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Nobbi in Hattah-Kulkyne National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June to August, the lowest months. That is one of Hattah-Kulkyne National Park's wettest months, with about 40 mm of rain against 5 mm in February.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Nobbi sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Nobbi sightings, Hattah-Kulkyne National Park has the highest daily chance: about 40%. Next come Flinders Ranges National Park (Australia, about 30%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nobbi is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Hattah-Kulkyne National Park (29 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.
