2018 $1 ANDA Perth Gold Coast Commonwealth Games Borobi PNC

On 4 April 2018, over 6,600 athletes and team officials from 70 nations and territories will converge on the Gold Coast for the XXI Commonwealth Games. The Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games (GC2018) will feature 18 sports and seven para-sports. Borobi, the GC2018 Mascot, is an energetic, sports-loving, unstoppable koala. Named after the local Aboriginal Yugambeh word for “koala”, he is thrilled the Games is being staged in his hometown. With a love for surfing, Borobi got his bright blue fur from the Gold Coast's beautiful ocean waters.
