About this audio guide
This guide to Caversham Wildlife Park in Whiteman, near Perth, opens with the joke one keeper uses to greet every tour bus, then follows what sits underneath it: the real trades practiced behind the fences. It traces the park's growth from a five-acre backyard collection bought by David and Pat in nineteen eighty-eight to today's sprawling site at Whiteman Park, and lingers at the daily farm show, where shearing, droving, and sheepdog work are performed much as they always were. Listen for it near the show ring at ten, one, or three o'clock.
