‘A Pocket Guide to the Bats of the Burnett Mary’ has been developed as a quick reference field guide for identifying 36 bats known to be found in the Burnett Mary region of Queensland. As well as species identification, it also includes background information to help readers learn more about these fascinating and often misunderstood creatures.

Intended to be used as a school and community resource, the pocket guide is the hard copy version of the All About Bats of Southern Queensland website.

This creation of this book was inspired by John Parsons who has been working tirelessly for the conservation of bats in the Fraser Coast and Burnett Mary region for many years. His commitment and dedication to working with research institutions to provide alternative roosting sites for micro-bats is admirable. Through his field work, John found a need to have a pocket-sized quick reference book on the various bat species in the region. This resource is a result of his vision.
