Hanging around on the Batty Boat Cruise
The Batty Boat Cruise is back, and this season promises to be one of the best with an unseasonably warm winter having brought greater numbers of flying foxes to Brisbane. Don’t miss this chance to watch from the water as the bats fly over at sunset, meet orphaned baby bats onboard and listen to live commentary on the species and the Brisbane River as you cruise along.
Cruise departs Mowbray Park:
