Cleland Wildlife Park

　　    Cleland Wildlife Park is situated in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia, about a 20-minute drive from downtown Adelaide. Covering an area of 35 hectares, it has been the most popular and most visited wildlife park in South Australia since it opened in 1967.

　　    Cleland Wildlife Park was awarded South Australia’s “Outstanding Tourist Attraction” three times between 2007 and 2009, making an outstanding contribution to the tourism industry of the state. It attracts around 100,000 visitors each year. The park is home to over 130 species of native Australian wildlife, many of which roam freely in the expansive bushland, offering visitors the chance to get up close to these animals. Visitors can see koalas, kangaroos, emus, dingoes, and more. In addition, there are many rare or endangered species, such as the southern yellow-footed rock wallaby, the brush-tailed bettong, and the numbat.

　　    Taking a free photo with a koala perched in a tree is a must-do activity at the park. For those who want an even closer encounter, you can also participate in the “koala cuddling” experience, where you can hold a cute koala and take photos with it.
