Go bat crazy

Appropriately for a city almost named Batmania (after founder John Batman), the flying-fox migration from Yarra Bend Park to their feeding ground is a nightly Melbourne spectacle. Visit the 10,000-strong colony during the day in unspoilt bushland at the Yarra River in Kew. Pro tip: hire a rowboat at Studley Park Boathouse (studleyparkboathouse.com.au) and see them from the water.
