BatPod is a choose your own adventure series for ages 10 to 15 where you get to call the shots.
Here on the Sunshine Coast, we live in one of the most beautiful parts of the planet and we get to share it with some amazing creatures. Sometimes it can be hard living near them – take flying foxes for example. These animals are vital to our environment but they can be noisy, smelly and messy neighbours.
You're invited to join Tyron, and our team at Sunshine Coast Council, to try and problem solve ways to live alongside these animals peacefully.
Proudly created by Sunshine Coast Council for our community. Voiced by Tyron de Kauwe, Uncle Lyndon Davis, Uncle BJ Murphy, Sarah Jones, Monika O’Hanlon. Produced by Monika O’Hanlon.
