Episode: 22
Presenter: Trevor Cochrane
Air Date: 19 July 2026

Trevor visits Caversham Wildlife Park to meet one of Australia's most iconic native animals and discover how education and close wildlife encounters are helping inspire greater appreciation for koala conservation.

• Located in the Swan Valley, just 30 minutes from Perth's CBD, Caversham Wildlife Park is a family-owned wildlife park offering immersive encounters with Australia's native animals.
• Established in 1988, the park has grown into one of Western Australia's leading wildlife attractions, welcoming visitors from around the world.
• Caversham's interactive experiences allow guests to meet, feed and learn about native wildlife while developing a greater understanding of conservation and animal welfare.
• Koalas are among Australia's most recognisable native animals, but populations are facing increasing pressure from habitat loss, disease, drought, bushfires and climate change.
• Unlike bears, koalas are marsupials, carrying and raising their young in a pouch during the early stages of life.
• Caversham Wildlife Park provides visitors with the opportunity to experience koalas up close while learning about their biology, behaviour and the conservation challenges affecting wild populations.
• The park's dedicated team of animal carers works across a diverse collection of native wildlife, providing educational presentations and interactive experiences throughout the day.
• Visitors can also support the park through its animal adoption program, helping contribute to the ongoing care and welfare of koalas and many other native species.
