Caversham Wildlife Park
The Wildlife Park is at Whiteman Park.
Entrance fee AUD23 for Adult, and AUD10 for children, below 3 yo is free. Getting very excited with the tot of getting very close to the animal and also touch them. Although I've been Australia 3 times, I've never touch a kangaroo or a koala...
Kookaburra, maybe not as fun as finding the one in the wild like we did in Melbourne, but this way I got a lot closer
Here I will show you the animals they have there.. I'll be slightly biased and only show you the animals that I think are cute :P
Before entering the kangaroo area, I read the rules to Alexander, making sure he understands it.
My favorite sections of the park, where you can go in and touch, pet, and feed the kangaroos
Alexander was scared at 1st.
But started to warmed-up after a while.
Alexander is trying to sneak up to the kangaroo...
Getting close to the Kangaroo now.. after that, there was no stopping Alexander.
He "hop hop hop" towards the roo trying to join their pack.
ah... a Kangaroo with cute joey having neng neng... like my big boy, 2 years old but still want breast milk. Well, only the best for my boy.
The albino kangaroo. The park do provide the feed. Just get it from the bins located at the side of the walkway. Got to feed them out of our hand!
Making new friends...
True Australian... Chill & RELAX!
I feel like I’m 12 years old again, the first time I came in contact with the kangaroos. I simply ADORED the kangaroos because they were very friendly, gentle and tame. Excited yet scared. Their tongue touching my finger while feeding them was slightly "geli" for me.
Emu, a BIG BIRD!
Alexander going eeeoooo-eeeoooo-eeeeooooo. Totally din expect lil Alexander to recognize the donkey. Ah... the wonders of kid's show. Who said TV was bad? hahahah...
There was a Farm Show over at Molly's Farm. The show started with introducing the sheepdogs and sheering the sheep, and Billy-tea too. They also did a whip-crackling demo. But Alexander was getting restless (the show is a bit too grown up for him), so we left before the show ended.
Alexander shouting "PIG" when he saw this pink curly tail animal hahhaha... I was again very surprise as it's our 1st time seeing a live pig. I tell you, this is 1 of the reward in letting ur kids watch BARNEY over and over and over again. Well, to me, I only was thinking "that's alot of BACON" :)
ow... Cute llama at the barn.
Lil mister "I'm not scared of any animal", running around chasing the animals to give then a pat. Even the mountain goat ran up the log to escape from him :D
The barn had this very low barricade so Alexander can just stand there and watched the guinea pig, rabbits etc
Next was "Meet the Wombat &
Friends" shows. The zoo keeper will bring out their favourite friends to
see, touch and learn about.
Eagle maybe...
Sayang possum.. she's a beauty
I forgot what this is... happen when I dun blog immediately :(
That's a baby kangaroo...
The last celebrity was this really "ho mia" wombat. We got to sit with one and touch its leg. They are bigger than I thought they would be. Nice photo capture by the workers there. Took 2 shots and I loved then both. We had to queue up but did not wait for long.
Don;t get lost now
We took quite a long time from one exhibit to another as Alexander stop and looks at the animals with intense interest... sometimes have to drag him to move along
The next big appeal to Caversham is to see and touch the Koalas.
They really so cute and cuddly... We were in luck, they sleep alot but were awake when we got there
Most of the koala are sleeping but this one was busy having a snack (eucalyptus leaves).
This is our first time sayang koala...They are really soft.
So much to see and do at Caversham Wildlife Park
Our 1st Press Penny experience, AUD 1 each. After a few of these, the novelty wore off .
Alexander signing grass...
Having some fun on the grass...
The park now features about 200 species, and more than 2000 head of animals, birds and reptiles; most housed in a walk-through environment. It's a AWESOME place to bring along the kids to see all kind of animals over here.
It's really a great place to visit in Perth!
