Our previous house in Griffith had a large fig tree in the back garden, and every year the flying foxes would visit every night in summer when the figs were ripe. We would hear them flying past our bedroom window and squabbling with the possums in the fig tree. We also sometimes saw them feeding in the street trees in Barrallier and Stuart Sts in Griffith.

We have been seeing many fruit bats flying past our unit in New Acton every night for the past couple of weeks.  They  are flying westwards (presumably from Commonwealth Gardens) and I’ve been wondering where they are heading so purposefully.  Do they go to the Botanic Gardens, Black Mountain or is somebody’s fruit trees popular?
