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.

Building a new habitat is great for the environment, and this site is a good distance away from humans so hopefully they’ll stay around here. The only thing is… flying-foxes like to roost pretty high up in the canopy of trees. It might take up to 20 years to get to a size which will entice the flying-foxes. This doesn’t really help Sam and their neighbourhood right now. And they’re at breaking point.
Okay so maybe creating a new habitat for the flying-foxes wasn’t quite the right first choice in this instance. It’s a great idea and comes with so many positives but maybe this is a step to take further down the track. We really need to improve the situation for Sam and her neighbours as soon as possible. Why don’t you have another go?
If you’d like to try the dispersal method, go to episode 5.
Perhaps you think creating a buffer is a good idea, head to episode 6.
And if you think education will solve the problem, scroll down to episode 8.
