Day One - Hendra Virus - The story driving everyone 'batty'!

Here's the plan, as a part of my blog I'm going to post a photo everyday. Not just any photo however, but a photo taken that I believe shows you the news that is relevant to you, relevant to my me, relevant to my community, and hopefully interesting. I will also post a link to an article for you to read more and find out more. 

Day One - Hendra Virus


The photo was taken of a horse stud at the back of where I live. Whilst this particular stud has not been affected by Hendra Virus, many properties with horses in the region which I live have been affected. Whilst the virus is normally contracted by horses from bats it can also be contracted by humans from horses and a dog was recently diagnosed with Hendra Virus, alarming health authorities and calling for the control of bats.
