Event 2: Evening Bat Fly-out

Australia is home to 11 species of flying foxes and 70 species of microbats. But did you know that Bendigo’s flying foxes are an endangered species?

Join the City of Greater Bendigo and the Central Victorian Bat Alliance for a twilight talk on Bendigo's bats, from the fruit-eating flying foxes to the tiniest of microbats! Observe them through binoculars as you find out about what they eat, where they live and why they are important for a healthy environment.

Just before dark, we will go on a short 2 minute walk to the Dai Gum San Chinese Precinct to watch the Grey-headed Flying Foxes take flight for their evening foraging.

What to bring: This is an outdoor event so wear weather-appropriate clothing.

Meeting point: Rosalind Park - Pine Lawn (2), near the fernery
