This little semiattached island on the Bellinger River (it's only completely cut off when the river is in flood) is home to a huge colony of grey-headed flying foxes. At dusk they fly out in their thousands to feed; it's an impressive sight, best viewed from the bridge in the centre of town. For a closer look take the steep path onto the island from Red Ledge Lane, on the northern bank.
The best months to visit are from October to January, when the babies are being born and nursed.
