English Translation from the original text in Vespadelus vulturnus (Little Forest bat):

In the event of fire

Pull down firmly on the gum nut,

This will release the self-inflating balloon.

As the balloon inflates

Untether your residence from the ground and/or supporting trees.

Firmly grasp the trailing anchor lines as you fly out of the danger zone

Steer your residence into a section of the forest which is well blackened and unlikely to ignite.

Carefully position the structure before deflating the balloon.

When the fire has passed, contact the emergency services to enquire about balloon replacement.

Materials: Wattle branches (prepared by the 2025 fire in Gariwerd), hardwood fence palings, cotton twine, rubber balloons, gumnut.
