Fruit Bat Tree

Really cool tree with endangered fruit bats in it. They look to be a foot to 18 inches. Very loud to sit under, but the city does a great job keeping the bat guano cleaned up, so no mess. But there definitely is quite a distinct smell that let's u know that u are by something unusual. Don't miss passing by this while you are in downtown Cairns.

I didn't know anything about this tree until I got within 50 meters of it this morning. The noise was odd at first, I thought the tree must have been full of birds, then I looked up and saw hundreds of fruit bats hanging there!
