I stumbled on the Flying Foxes accidentally while on a run. It has been one of the highlights of my travels in Australia.

The park, cemetery and boardwalk are lovely. Pity it’s been over run by homeless people leaving their belongings everywhere, drinking and hollering at anyone the walks nearby. Not a nice place to feel safe.

Parked next to the cemetery side of the park and walked into the mangroves. The walking path is a board walk through the park and there are tens of thousands of these creature and these creatures are massive !!! There also is an area where you can sit by the water and it is very relaxing. Remember to wear but repellent as there are lots of mosquitos ready to pounce on their next human prey. Didn’t see any koalas as they as pretty hard to see.
