Caversham Wildlife Park - Western Australia's largest wildlife park

Caversham Wildlife Park is located in the heart of Whiteman Park, about 30 minutes' drive northeast of Perth. Caversham Zoo is a private zoo run by David & Pat and their children. There are more than 2,000 animals of about 200 species in the zoo. The most popular attraction is the close encounter with Australia's three national treasures - koalas, kangaroos and emus. Of course, the zoo also includes a large number of birds and reptiles, many of which are local species that should not be missed. The Caversham Wildlife Park covers an area of ​​about 4,300 hectares. After purchasing your ticket and entering, the first thing that catches your eye is the entire kangaroo area. Most of the kangaroos here are smaller species called wallabies, and they all lie lazily on the ground basking in the sun. Here you can push open the iron gate to enter the kangaroo area and interact with and feed the kangaroos. However, I don’t know if they are full or just too lazy, most of the kangaroos show no interest in food, and it’s rare to find one willing to get up and be fed. If you are lucky enough, you can even see a baby kangaroo popping its head out of its mother's pouch. After leaving the kangaroo area, you can go to the performance venue according to the schedule to watch the sheepdogs herding sheep and sheep shearing shows. There are four performances every day, at 10 am, 12 noon, 1 pm and 3 pm. You can pay attention to the latest schedule on the bulletin board when entering the zoo. The whole performance takes about an hour. Remember to arrive early because it is easy to be full. After everyone enters the venue, the host will start to introduce the content of today's performance, and then ask the sheepdog to demonstrate how to drive the sheep into the sheepfold. During this time, he will also invite the audience to interact with him. Then there will be a sheep shedding show, which is somewhat similar to the shedding show we saw before at Cingjing Farm, but the difference is that the wool of Australian sheep will be much larger after being shed. After watching the show, you can go to another popular attraction in the park, the koala/koala/koala area. The koalas here are not kept in cages or separated by a distance, but can be approached or even touched at close range. Park staff will carefully place the koalas on tree trunks for tourists to take pictures, but remember not to use the flash or hug the koalas. According to the staff, koalas spend 18-22 hours a day sleeping, and the rest of the time eating leaves, so it is very lucky to see a koala awake. In addition to the must-visit attractions listed above, of course, the zoo also has a number of local or very rare animals waiting for everyone, such as the world's smallest penguin, the Little Blue Penguin, which is only 33 cm in size; the world's second largest bird, the emu, one of Australia's three national treasures; the Australian marsupial that looks a bit like a pig but is cute - the wombat; and the highland animal from Peru, a cute animal that looks like a sheep and a camel - the alpaca. Of course, in addition to these popular characters, the zoo also has many other species. If you look at them one by one, you may not be able to see them all even if you spend half a day. The most convenient way to get to Caversham Wildlife Park is of course to drive yourself, but the park is also accessible by public transportation. You can use Google's itinerary planner to find your ideal transportation method. For example, if you live near Central Park, you can go to Perth Railway Station and take bus line 950, then transfer to line 345 at Russell St After Barnett Ct station to reach the park.
