Bullen's Animal World, Safari park in Wallacia, Australia
Description
Bullen's Animal World was a safari park in Wallacia where visitors could observe diverse animal species, including lions and tigers, directly from their vehicles. The site was specifically designed as a drive-through facility to provide families with an interactive wildlife experience.
History
The park was established in 1969 by Stafford Bullen, whose father Alfred Percival Bullen had founded a circus, and continued operating until 1985. The family's circus background influenced how the facility was run throughout its years of operation.
