Named after a guy whose's nickname was fruit bat. He was working on the telegraph line in a big truck and it was usual for the guys to climb up the ladder to get on top of the truck to have a rest. When climbing up with his bag of food his foot slipped and he ended up upside down, luckily for him, another truck came past in the morning and saw him.
They rescued and discovered a lot of fruit on the ground that had fallen from his food pack, hence the name fruit bat.
Anyway about 6 KMs off the road is this beautiful clear swimming pool with a couple of waterfalls. Never known to been dry and no crocs.
We arrived at 11am for a swim then lunch. Only two people didn't go in. It was a couple of hundred metres walk from the bus and we took a chair with us.
