Parks Victoria Flying Fox Management Area

Highlight • Natural

Yarra Bend Park is home to one of Australia’s largest colonies of grey-headed flying foxes, with numbers often reaching into the tens of thousands. During the day, they roost along the Yarra River, hanging in dense groups before taking flight at dusk.

The colony is nationally significant but under pressure from habitat loss and heat stress. Conservation efforts are ongoing here, so it’s worth observing from a distance to avoid disturbance.
