Habitat. Closed forests, gallery forests, Eucalyptus open forests, Melaleuca swamps, coastal swamps, mangroves, tall Acacia trees, urban parks, and orchards from sea level up to elevations of ¢. 200 m. In New Guinea, the Spectacled Flying Fox roosts in secondary forests, coconut (Cocos nucifera, Arecaceae) plantations, Casuarina spp. (Casuarinaceae), and Araucaria cunninghamii (Araucariaceae). In wet seasons in Australia, it forages in coastal and upland rainforests. During cooler months, it prefers to forage on the coast.

Movements, Home range and Social organization. The Spectacled Flying Fox is gregarious and roosts in colonies of 12,000 - 20,000 individuals. Longest foraging distance is 43 - 4 km (mean 11 - 8 km). In the Atherton Tableland of Australia, seasonal movements occur; in coastal areas with less fluctuation of food resources, roosts tend to be occupied year-round. The Spectacled Flying Fox occasionally roosts with other flying fox species, but there is still some degree of physical segregation among species in roost trees.
