Nikki dives into the wild at Caversham Wildlife Park: cuddling koalas, spotting roos and uncovering the epic conservation work behind WA’s cutest (and most iconic) creatures!

• 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.
• Koalas develop in their mother’s pouch for 6 to 7 months, and thanks to conservation efforts, their numbers at the park continue to grow.
• 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!
