Perth - Day Six

Went to Caversham Wildlife Park (CWP) on my sixth day in Perth. It's not really far from Perth City but taking public transport there can be quite a hassle. Took bus service 60 to Morley bus station and changed to service 336, dropped off at Whiteman Park.

CWP started out small but today, it has become one of the premier development of Western Australia. It houses about 2000 head of animals. The main attraction for most visitors is that you can touch or feed some of the native animals in their replicated natural habitat. These animals include kangaroos, koalas and wombats. =)

Not only that, you can also get up close with some of the feathered friends as well. Of course, you will not be able to touch them as they are relatively shy. But if you move quietly, you can get real close as the vsitors are actually allowed into the enclosed area of these friendly birdies. Haha, falcons and eagles not included. =P

Funny incident of the day - a couple of singaporeans and i got trapped in the enclosure for farm animals. They stick really close to people, probably in hope of getting food.. Thanks to one of the park keepers for coming to our rescue. She scattered some food and the animals got distracted, allowing us time to get out. =)
