I don't remember them as a kid growing up in Rockdale, but I have seen them since when visiting family down there. Here in Brisbane, there's an island in the Brisbane River where they roost and at night the sky can be filled with these black shapes!!

Thanks Carlos! Although the bat was quite sharp, the low light/high ISO noise of the sky was quite bad. I tried several methods of dealing with the noise but settled on the radial blur of just the sky. I felt it added quite a dramatic effect - almost a "fear" element of seeing a bat!!
Cheers,
