So I decided to take a short cut to the Opera House through the Royal Botanical Gardens. The whole area is very picturesque, I was taking a view panoramic shots when I saw what lookedlike a flock of birds. I took a picture and thought nothing more of it until I got closer to a strange looking tree...
There must have been somewhere between 500 - 1000 huge fruit bats hanging from every tree around me!!
They were making loads of noise, I could even see a mother flying with a youngster clinging on.
This was by far my favourite sight in Sydney, just because it took my completely by surprise - I had no idea these beasts were there. I got some great photos / videos, I've just chosen a couple here, I'll pick the best ones when I get home.
That's it from Sydney, I'm off to Fraser Island tomorrow for 3 days. I'll be back at this hostel on Sunday/Monday with an update.
(If the title & opening pargraph sounded a little strange, don't worry - you just haven't seen Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas)

Raoul Duke: [commenting on the song "One Toke Over the Line" playing on the radio] One toke? You poor fool! Wait till you see those goddamn bats.
Strange stuff in Sydney, always considered bats as being night dwellers.
Hopefully this one won't get deleted :)
