Where would we be without bats?

Australasian Bat Society

There are 90 species of bats in Australia, some can eat their own body weight in insects in a single night, others pollinate flowering and fruiting plants, and yet most of us know very little about our amazing little neighbours.

The first Australasian Bat Night will be held on the weekend of 3-4th March, the beginning of Bat Month.
