The overwhelming consensus is :
1. Melbourne (Royal Botanic Gardens). Grey-headed Flying-fox
2. Sydney (Gordon). Grey-headed Flying-fox
3. Cairns. Black Flying-fox (with very likely some Spectacled Flying-fox,
and a chance of Little Red)
4. Kakadu. Black Flying-fox (Little Red a chance but they weren't what I saw)
5. Cape York (Pajinka). Black Flying-fox (Spectacled and Little Red chances).

I have been going through the new mammal field guide by Menkhorst & Knight
and through my old trip records. Can someone please tell me what the
fruit bat (flying fox) colonies are at the following locations.
1. Melbourne (park south of Yarra river St Kilda? Toorak? - is this near
the governors residence). May 1990 from memory. Is this Grey-headed?
2. Sydney (a gully along a river between Sydney and North Ryde). November
1988 from memory.
3. Cairns near the cemetery and Centennial Gardens. Every visit.
4. Kakadu (rainforest walk near East Alligator River). August 1988.
5. Cape York (near Pajinka Lodge). January 1997.
