Caversham Wildlife Park is a privately owned facility located within the 4,000-hectare Whiteman Park conservation reserve. It houses the largest private collection of native Australian animals in Western Australia. The park is designed for interactive experiences, featuring walk-through kangaroo paddocks where visitors can hand-feed and pet the animals. A dedicated farm show area presents live demonstrations of sheep shearing, whip cracking, and sheepdog mustering. The park's koala enclosure allows visitors to stand near the animals for photographs during scheduled sessions. Its nocturnal house simulates low-light conditions to exhibit creatures like the bilby, quenda, and various possums. The park emphasizes conservation education through its interactive wildlife talks throughout the day. It operates as an immersive, open-air environment rather than a traditional caged zoo format. The site remains a primary venue for viewing regional endemics like wombats and Tasmanian devils.
