  • Tip Rating:
  • If you want to get up close and personal with a kangaroo or koala then Caversham Wildlife Park is the place to go. Caversham Wildlife Park is in our famous Swan Valley. You can book day tours through the Perth Information Centre or hire a car and visit it for yourselves. Caversham is part of Whiteman Park which is a lovely way to experience the Australian bush.

    Caversham wildlife park has just moved to its new location. About 25 mins drive from Perth city. This is the definite place to go for getting up close and personal with animals like kangeroofs, wombats and koalas. Other than that, there is a large varieties of bird sanctuaries.
    Bring your own camera and take as many pics as you want with the animals without being charging extra. The rangers are friendly and a souvenir shop is avaliable for Australia goods purchase.

    Caversham wildlife park: Close, up & personal with the kangaroos
  • Tip Rating:
  • Talking about Australia, the 1st thing that came to my mind is kangaroo..then koala and I just learnt about wombat when we visited Perth Zoo.

    Caversham Wildlife Park was mentioned in most if not all Perth/ Western Australia tourist guide books, phamplets and websites. Getting excited about the possibility of getting closer to those 3 animals we found our way to the park on 28 March 2007.

    Again we take a ride on Transperth bus No. 60 from Barrack St. Stand No. 2 to Morley station then hop on bus number 336 to Whiteman Park.

    The management of Whiteman Park is thoughtful enough to provide a courtesy ride into the park for those arriving with public transport like us since the entrance to the Caversham Wildlife Park is about 1.8km from the main entrance.

    AUD16 is charged as an entrance fee for 1 adult. They provide u a map as a guide to go around the park.

    It was a memorable experience. I think the most well fed kangaroo in Western Ausralia if not in the whole Australia is at Caversham. Some of the kangaroos just ignore the food in our hands but some are really sporting! Lots of mother-2b kangaroo are around as well mother with baby roo in pouch!

    One thing for sure, just be alert to your surrounding if during your visit its the roo mating season coz we did see a couple in action in broad day light!!!!

    Caversham wildlife park: The cuddly cute koalas
  • Tip Rating:
  • At last, I finally got a chance to touch this cute animal. Its soooooooooooooo pretty and the fur so soft!

    A tip from the caretaker, carress them with the back of your hand not with your palm as our palm maybe oily which can take away the moisture that keep them warm....

    Errrr...I actually 4got the real reason. But I'm pretty sure up to the word moisture though :P

    Ohhh...and another jackpot, we got to meet the little baby too....

  • Tip Rating:
  • Caversham Wildlife Park houses one the largest collections of native fauna in Western Australia.

    This park has an excellent breeding program for most of the species.

    Also included in the park are camel rides, a farmyard, and introduced animals.

    Have a photo with the Koalas - with the Wombats - with the Kangaroos while you are feeding them.

    See the Dingos, Cassowary, Flying Foxes and a host more.

    Picnic and Barbeque Areas, Souvenir Shop.

    It is just 15kms from Perth, situated in Whiteman Park.
    On the 1st May 2003 Caversham Wildlife Park moved from its old location in west swan to a new purposely built park in Whiteman Park, entry into Whiteman Park is free, the park is approximately 4300 hectares, the park is a recreation and conservation reserve that's around ten times larger than Kings Park.

  • It looks a bit run down, but is worth it to get close to some of the animals - feed kangaroos, stroke koalas and ride a camel.

    Caversham wildlife park: Experience wildlife here
    We went through a guided tour at Caversham Wildlife Park. Our lovely tour guide brought us around and explained to us the habits of various animals.

    The koalas looked really cute hanging on the trees and nibbled away at the eucalyptus leaves.

    We were excited to take a photo with the equally cute wombat. Nobody took the offer to carry them though. Perhaps it was the huge size.

    We fed the kangaroos who looked very sleepy on an late afternoon.

    Caversham wildlife park: Kangaroos can spoil your picnic
    While they are cute to look at, watch out for your sandwiches! A roo's claws are similar to that of a German Shepherd dog - long and hard. And they'll use them to scratch the food right out of your hand. Very persistent pests if you really are hungry yourself. I would suggest you eat before you go to the park.
