Caversham Wildlife Park

A visit to Perth, Australia is incomplete without visiting The Caversham Wildlife Park, which is located inside the Whiteman Park. A place where you can get upclose with the animals, petting them, feeding them food, riding camels, etc and not forgetting the farm show. Entrance fee AUD 20 (adult) :)

Yeah, no running around in the park, else u might upset the kangaroo. And yeah, no touching the Ms Roo's pouch or disturbing her little babies too :)

Yes, kangaroos need to rest too. They get tired too after entertaining the tourists all over the world :)
Someone trying to take photo of the baby kangaroo :)

The sleeping "Drunk" Kangaroo (Too much wine, perhaps?) LOL

White Kangaroo woh :)

Itchy lah. *Scratch scratch*

Someone disturbing the kangaroo lifting up the kangaroo's tail.. :P

This kangaroo is even better.. scratching armpit openly with so many pairs of eyes staring at it :)

Cute leh the little kambing inside Molly's Farm

Bambi is here too? o.O

Wah, this rooster looks like a white & furry feather duster :P

Baa Baa Black Brown Sheep have you any wool?

Little boy admiring the cute little sheep, who is busy sniffing ?? :)

Meeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Camels in Oz are single-humped, unlike the double humped camels in Silk Road, China.

Yeah, u can ride the camel too (at AUD 6 per head)

Sheepish Camelish grin :)

Pigs can BITE. Hence, don't play-play :)

Cute leh the piglets :)

First time I get to see and pet a Wombat. Nice to cuddle :P

*Yawning*. Btw, The Dingoes are kept inside the "electric fence".

The Sleeping Beauty. Koala sleeps 16 to 20 hours a day. They really know how to enjoy life, huh?

Koala Bears enjoying the Eucalyptus leaves.

This resembles a huge, gigantic rat !!! o.O

Last but not least, another rat the Tasmanian Devil says Hi to everyone :)

chen,
You were in Perth! Argghhhh! I miss the life there. I brought my family to this Caversham Wildlife Park during my convo. It was quite far from Perth city but it's all worth it!:)

Did you go to Swan Valley or down south, Margaret River? Or did you go to any strawberry farm? And and, how bout up north? I hope you didn't miss out Fremantle and Subiaco!

Aihhhh... this made me miss Perth more and more!:(

The kangaroos are soooooo cute, in fact all the animals are sooooo cute lah. I just wanna pet them and hug them tight tight leh. That rooster really looks like a duster. I still can't work out where the eyes are...

Chen said...

kok,
If i were u, i will choose to continue working in Oz after graduation leh.. That is a much better country with better life quality compared with Msia :)

I did went to Swan Valley but didn't visit the strawberry farm. Went to Fremantle too, and did the Prison Tour, tried the Fish & Chips there, visited the Maritime Museum etc. I will go back to Oz again, might be next year? :)

angeles,
Wah.. u wanna tidur 16 to 20 hours a day ah?
But hoh, being a koala, u cannot eat sashimi and other yummy food liao. Your diet will only be the boring Eucalyptus leaves. Jialat woh.. LOL

The camels are cute though..
and I had taken several photos of the camel grinding and moving his mouth and teeth :)

doreen,
There's another few photos of the baby kangaroo being wrap up and carried by one of the rangers there. The way she carried it was just like holding a human baby. And the baby kangaroo was holding some leaves and munching. I didn't put the photo up cos too many photos already. :)

hehe, if u right click and zoom in the photo, u will be able to see the eyes. There are several white rooster in the Molly's Farm. I didn't count but definitely there are more than 30s :)

Chen said...

fibrate,
Yeah, can spend hours and hours inside it.
At least half a day :)

I didn't bring my DSLR to Oz, cos i lazy wanna carry or bring around the lens. I used my prosumer camera instead. Lighter and more portable :P

may,
The wombat is so cute
and so huge too...
and their feet are so tiny :D

Wooo.. I didn't know the wombats can be vicious :)

keeyit,
Don't visit the Zoo lei cos u won't be able to get upclose nor personal touch with the animals. Visit the Wildlife Park instead, such as this one :)

Chen said...

pink cotton,
Yeah, can spend at least half a day inside the wildlife park. I have taken 300+ photos inside the park, and of coz having fun playing around with the animals, including petting the snake and the lizard. LOL :)

The kanga might punch u lei if u disturb their pouch.

Btw, I had taken few photos of a ranger holding a baby kangaroo in such a way that resembles how a mum carrying her baby. I didn't post that up earlier on as too many photos already in this post. Likely i will post that photo up later :)

LOL, luckily u mentioned..
Else imagination might run wild :P

misti,
She is so farnie :D

khengsiong said...

"Yeah, u can ride the camel too (at AUD 6 per head)"

Human head or camel head?
If 2 persons ride one camel, will that cost A$6 or A$12?

Chen said...

khengsiong,
I thought it's pretty obvious per head means per person? Else I will use per camel liao. :)

Anonymous said...

Chen said...
