Cleland Wildlife Park, Wildlife park in Crafers, Australia
Description
Cleland Wildlife Park is a wildlife facility in hilly terrain south of Adelaide that covers natural bushland with more than 130 Australian animal species. These animals live in large enclosures that mimic their natural environments and let visitors watch them up close.
History
The park opened in 1967 and grew into an important refuge for native Australian species. In 2021 it merged with the nearby Eurilla Conservation Park and gained national park status.
Culture
The park shows visitors the diversity of native animal species and their importance to the Australian ecosystem. You can observe how these creatures behave in settings that resemble their natural surroundings.
Practical
Visiting on foot works best, as paths lead through the grounds with several starting points available. Good footwear and sun protection are recommended, since you will spend a lot of time outdoors under the Australian sun.
Did you know?
A highlight is the chance to hand-feed kangaroos and wallabies that roam freely on the grounds. These direct encounters with wild Australian animals become a memorable part of the visit for many guests.
