Caversham Wildlife Park

West Coast Australia


Part of the vast Whiteman Park estate, this wildlife park features cassowaries, echidnas, kangaroos, koalas, potoroos, quokkas and native birds – if you're not from Australia, it's a great introduction to the locals. Say g'day to Neil, the very laid-back southern hairy wombat. There are also farm shows for the kids.
