I went to Cleland today so heres my view!
Cleland Wildlife Park (Cleland) is an Australian Wildlife park situiated 20mins out of the CBD.
Cleland sustain a healthy population of Southern Barred Bandicoots, All Kanagroo S.Species, Bettongs, Pottoroos and many many others.
THe Bettongs ,Potoroos and Bandicoots are of particular interest, there are housed all over the park.
THere is one central area where it says where they are on the map Its a huge walk through paddock, Planted with gums and other natives that tower way way into the sky. Cleland is made in a series of Gates and Fences, theres the main fence then all eth other areas are fence, in teh fenced areas there are more exhibits liek saty for Tassie Devils or Wombats, but the mojority are Kangorr Paddocks, with Cape Barren Geese.
THere are smaller fenced off areas taht form paths aswell mainly from avairy to paddock or around a pond, these areas are home to these 3 species aswell,i reckon i counted 55 of Each animal in teh park in these little areas.
Its liek every animal there is free range but ther arent. I would love to see trhis concept adopted by many many other Zoo's/Wildlife Parks Imagine going to dsit down and eat and havinbg a Bettong come out to say hi, this concept of fencing of areas isnt intrusive they are hidden by bushes.
They have a Great Indoor House for smaller small species, they are mostly in mixed exhibits, Like theres a costal one with Hermit Crabs, Greater Stick Nest Rats and Peninsula Dragons, or the Mulgara Bilby Exhibit, maybe the oddest the Jungle Python and Stick Insect.
I will scan in the park map when i find it.
