Geocache Description:

Fear not the Terror Puss! Well actually, it's Pteropus.

Pteropus refers to the genus of bat known as flying foxes; and you’ll get to see more than a few with this cache.


This cache is located at the Ipswich Pteropus Conservation Park, home to the Woodend Nature Centre and three types of Flying Foxes.



The Nature Centre has a series of information boards on the viewing deck so you can learn a little about flying foxes. The three types of bats found here are the Black Flying Fox (Pteropus alecto), Grey-headed Flying Fox (Pteropus poliocephalus), and the Little Red Flying Fox (Pteropus scapulatus).

The cache has been placed near a spot that gives you a good view of the flying fox colony roosting in the trees. I had originally planned to hide a large ammo box stocked full of copies of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, but environmental sensibilities had to take priority, as there are no walking tracks through the bat colony and park grounds.

Please bring your own pen.
