Kangaroos In My Local Park Today

Very close to our home is this park 'well within' the wider city of Perth Western Australia where there are thousands of kangaroos. If you go for a walk around one of the many walk trails, you will see many kangaroos in the natural and some are not particularly worried about humans, though not domesticated at all. They basically ignore people. Depending on the time of the year, there can be young kangaroos everywhere as they are prolific breeders, depending on the amount of feed available.

Whiteman Park is about 4,000 hectares (10,000 acres) and about an easy 25 minute drive from the heart of the city. Any taxi driver would bring you here. It also has museums, children's very good play areas, train rides, BBQs, sheltered tables, a shallow play pool and water fountains for young children and lots of shade. It is one of the best places to see kangaroos up and personal.

There is also the wonderful Caversham Wildlife Park within the boundaries of the park, which is well worth the cost of a visit.
