Caversham Wildlife Park

---

We spent a day at Caversham Wildlife park at the weekend, it was great, it's in the middle of Whiteman Park, about 30KM's North of the city.

It houses all different species of Australian animals in a natural surrounding, there aren't many fences (apart from the main one around the park) and most of the animals are free to roam about and that.

There's loads to see and you're allowed to interact with the animals, feeding them, racing them, challenging them to jumping competitions etc.

We see loads of different things, Cassowary, Lorikeets, Flying Foxes, Koalas, Quokka, Wallabies, Walleroos, Kangadrews, Tasmanian Devils, Kookaburra, Damas, Falcons, Eagles, Busards, Curlew, Dingos, Potteroos, Wombats, Gliders, Camels etc.

I'll probably fill in the blanks at a later date but am starving so away to eat a Kangaroo steak, wonder if they sell white kangaroo meat?
