Did you know that Australia is home to approximately 86 species of bats, with only four of our bat species falling into the fruit bat category?!

Join us for a twilight talk to learn about Bendigo's bats, from the fruit-eating flying foxes to the tiniest of microbats! Hear from local experts about bat ecology, what they eat, where they live and why they are important for a healthy environment.

You will also learn about some of the other nocturnal creatures that call Bendigo home. We will meet just before dusk and 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: Pine Lawn (2), on the western side of the Fernery. Map included below.
