Bats, Dark Skies & Garden Night Walk   

Curious about what comes out at night in Eastern Park and the Geelong Botanic Gardens?

Join us for a night tour starting with the fly-out of the Grey-headed Flying Foxes.

Next, we head indoors to hear from Kelly Clitheroe of the Dark Skies association about why dark skies matter.

Finish the evening EXPLORING the gardens by torchlight, spotting bats, bugs and birds, with tips on night photography and using citizen science apps to share what you find.
