Expect guided tours, bat-themed craft activities,food stores, batpack bag printing, expert talks, and an outdoor movie under the stars.
Sunshine Coast Council Environment and Liveability Portfolio Councillor Tim Burns invited the community to join Council and everyone’s favourite flying fox mascot, Frankie, to explore the fascinating world of bats and their vital role in keeping our environment healthy.
“Bat Night is a great opportunity to learn more about these fascinating winged creatures and how we can live alongside them in a wildlife-friendly biosphere,” Cr Burns said.
“There’ll be plenty to see and do, and it’s a great way to spend an afternoon with the family while learning about our nocturnal neighbours.”
Don’t forget to bring a torch to help you find your way in the dark as you watch the local flying fox roost “fly out” for the night and dress up in your favourite batty costume and join the fun! Free tickets and more info via eventbrite.com.au.
