Flying foxes or fruit bats are very conspicuous and you can find them in many cities, such as Sydney. Wikipedia surely has a page for them, and if you look in Google Maps some popular roosting sites are marked too. Like the other person said, their wingspan is about 1 metre, but the body wouldn’t be larger than a tiny chihuahua’s
