| Borobi is the mascot of the 2018 Commonwealth Games, to be held in the Gold Coast Australia. |
 |
| Borobi is a male Koala with blue fur and unusual markings on his paws. The name Borobi is derived from a dialect used by the Yugembeh people, an indigenous Australian group from the Gold Coast region. |
 |
| The mascot was revealed to the eager public in April 2016, with a detailed back story to establish a sense of connection with the public. |
 |
| The back story was developed with the 'everyday' Australian in mind, and in many respects reflects the challenges faced by many Australians. |
 |
| The countries of the Commonwealth are represented by the campsite, the big circle on Borobi's feet. |
