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.

Education is really helping - people are definitely becoming more aware of why flying-foxes are so vital to the environment. We didn’t damage the environment doing it, and it only cost 15 Batty Bucks!
However, educating people about flying-foxes doesn’t help the situation right now - Sam and their neighbourhood are not coping. We haven’t helped the situation at all and there are a lot of stressed out people.
So education is a valuable tool to help people recognise why flying-foxes are so important to the environment – but it doesn’t improve the situation for Sam or anyone living nearby right now.
We need to try a different approach – at least for our first option. So let’s have another go.
