 Coming to a tree near you by iandsmith
Weighing in at up to a kilogram and with a wing span of up to a metre they have a flight speed of 25km per hour and range up to 30 kilometres from their base using their night vision and sense of smell.
If you look closely at the pic (from a National Parks and Wildlife brochure), you'll note the hooks on their wings that they use to clamber around the branches.
They're cut little critters and the best place I've ever come across to see them is at Wingham on the north coast of N.S.W. where a reserve has been set aside and you can see them by the thousand during the day.
The only problem they have is that they carry a Lyssavirus that can be harmful to man but only if you're actually holding one (an extremely unlikely scenario) and you get bitten or scratched. They are not there to attack you so just enjoy watching them as I do. Leave a Comment

 Sydney Aquarium by ValbyDK
Properly the best aquarium I have ever visited. I especially like the underwater tunnels where sharks swim above you. There is also a good exhibition of the Great Barrier Reef coral environment.

A great place for tourists to visit is Waratah Park in Northern Sydney. This park has a large collection of Kangaroos, Emus and Koalas. You are allowed to go into enclosures and hand feed the emus and kangaroos. A great way to get close to the countries natural animals.
This park was also used for the location of a great television show while I was growing up...Skippy the bush Kangaroo.
ADDITIONAL NOTE. While in Sydney in June 2004 I read a newspaper article about the closure of the park. This is due to the owner mistreating the animals. There is a chance it has re opened under new management, but call to check before you go there. Leave a Comment Address: Namba Road. Duffy's ForestPhone: +61 2 9450 2377

 a scenic from the Zoo by joandarcy
Do not miss the The Free Flight Bird Show as it is certainly a sight to see. The show has a huge variety of free flighted birds - pigeons, parrots, hawks even a Brolga!
The spectacular amphitheatre is perched on the edge of a cliff top, with an amazing view of the Harbour Bridge, Opera House and Sydney skyline.

Also accesible by bus,leave from Wynyard bus station and depart from the Zoo's Main Entrance daily.Website: www.zoo.nsw.gov.au

Whilst not the cheapest thing to do ( at around 32 $ per adult) it is the most spectacular location for a zoo and there are certainly plenty of animals to look at and you will get a lot of exercise walking around. I've been to the zoo many times but had never been to a bird show ( which is fantastic & very hands on) which I would definitely recommend. Now that the elephants are there it would be worth going as their enclosure alone was quite a sight. The new aquarium enclosure will be wonderful when finished, but if merecats, pigmy hippos, lions & leopard pups don't excite you then nothing will!! If you're a zooo lover - try a tax deductable zoo friends sponsorship which allows free entry for two people for an entire year and you actually know that you are helping to feed whichever kind of animal it is you love , i.e. spider monkey!

This place is larger than it looks from the outside. Has an excellent collection of fish and other animals. Another good thing is this is one of the few attractions open in the evening. Leave a Comment
