Borobi (mascot)


Borobi was the official mascot of the 2018 Commonwealth Games, in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. Borobi was a male koala with blue fur and unusual markings on his paws. The name Borobi is derived from a dialect used by the Yugambeh people, an indigenous Australian group from the Gold Coast region. The mascot, along with its fictional back story, was revealed in April 2016. Borobi is based on a character submitted by Merrilyn Krohn, the winner of the GC2018 Mascot Design Competition.

Borobi Fan Trail

The Borobi Fan Trail was a trail of Borobi's footprints stretching from Southport to Broadbeach meant to keep visitors healthy throughout the games. Along the trail are several statues of Borobi dressed in attire for different sports.
