Tod takes a playful break from the everyday at Caversham Wildlife Park, where a hands-on farm show blends Aussie bush traditions, sheepdog skills, and old-school cuppas, proving that a little nature, nostalgia, and animal connection is good for the soul.
- Caversham Wildlife Park is one of WA’s top wildlife attractions, located in Whiteman Park, just 30 minutes from Perth CBD.
- The park is family owned and operated, with a strong focus on education, conservation and hands-on wildlife experiences.
- Home to around 200 species and more than 2,000 animals, birds and reptiles, it’s the largest privately owned collection of native wildlife in Western Australia.
- Visitors can get up close with koalas, kangaroos, wombats, echidnas, and many more iconic Australian species.
- Caversham runs breeding and conservation programs, helping protect vulnerable native species, including a thriving population of over 60 koalas.
- The park plays a vital role in preserving endangered wildlife through habitat awareness, breeding success, and community education.
- Did you know Australia is home to the most venomous snake in the world, the Inland Taipan, but it’s so shy and reclusive that there’s never been a confirmed fatality from its bite in the wild!
- A visit helps support their mission to secure the future of Australia’s most beloved wildlife, while ticking off a few bucket-list animal encounters along the way!
