Aerial Invasion! Flying Foxes take off

The flying foxes of Carnarvon Gorge fill the summer skies, for a night of picking fruit and grabbing a drink from the river.

I remember the spectacle of what seemed like tens of thousands of flying foxes moving across the sky, from our vantage point on the side of the highway in Kununurra, Western Australia. It was an amazing, but eerie, sight. Where was this film shot? Was it in WA or NT?

Thanks Mary. This one was filmed at Carnarvon Gorge in Queensland. It is an amazing spectacle! Interesting us aussies sometimes look on the flying fox with disgust, but they’re actually an incredible flying mammal!

@@dan_proud they are incredible, but can’t say I’m a fan of the smell in the areas they roost, if that’s the right word 😊
