Caversham Wildlife Park
Perth
Animals and Nature
David & Pat own and operate Caversham Wildlife Park with their children, David & Debbie. When they purchased the park in 1987, the park housed a small collection of animals and birds on a modest 5 acre (2ha) property. A few years later, the park doubled in size, when the family purchased the adjoining property and the collection started to boom. In May 2003, the family designed and built a new park in Whiteman Park, once again, more than doubling in size.
The park now features about 200 species, and more than 2000 head of animals, birds and reptiles; most housed in a walk-through environment. The park is the premiere development of its kind in Western Australia, attracting visitors from all over the world. Such is the park's status, that some of its breeding programs are officially recognised by Australian Zoos. David regularly exchanges animals and birds with other parks and zoos, for breeding purposes and to add to the Caversham population. The park has bred its own wombats, koalas, grass owls and cassowaries, which is a significant achievement for a privately owned park.
Visitors to the park are assisted by wildlife professionals, dedicated to exceptional service ensuring our visitors receive the best opportunities for animal interaction, information and photographs.
As a private, WA family owned and operated business, we do not receive any assistance from the Government, so we thank you for assisting us to care for our unique Australian wildlife. With your continued support, we endeavour to provide a world-class facility for all to enjoy.
