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.

By using the dispersal method not only did we use most of the budget, we just moved the flying-foxes to a nearby location, not solving the problem at all - in fact we potentially made it worse.
Local residents have lost sleep from the morning noise, damaged property from the smoke and their pets have been affected. And to top it all off the native wildlife has also been scared away.
Using the dispersal method is not an ideal option, at least to start with. So let’s try again. If you want to try the buffer method, go to episode 6. If you’d like to create a new habitat for the flying-foxes, head to episode 7. And if you want to use education as your first port of call, go to episode 8.
