Digital Detox: Fantastic Flying Foxes

Digital Detox: Fantastic Flying Foxes

Go batty for one of Brisbane’s misunderstood native inhabitants! Brisbane is the only capital city in Australia home to three species of flying foxes (fruit bats). These intelligent, social creatures play a vital and dynamic role in our ecosystem as pollinators and seed dispersers, ensuring the health of our forests and urban green spaces. Despite their significance, flying foxes face habitat loss and other dangers such as powerlines, barbed-wire fences, and domestic animals, underscoring the need for greater awareness and conservation efforts.

Join Bat Conservation and Rescue Queensland for an evening of insight into these fascinating animals. Be captivated by their mesmerising evening ‘flyout’ as thousands take to the skies, and delve into their unique behaviours, communication and ecological impact.

Disconnect from the digital world and embrace nature with this Digital Detox experience. Perfect for all ages, this event combines fun, education and a renewed appreciation for our native wildlife. BYO binoculars for an even closer look!
