Cleland Wildlife Park is a remarkable 35-hectare open-range wildlife reserve set in the scenic Adelaide Hills, just 20 minutes from the Adelaide city centre in Crafers, South Australia. Unlike many conventional zoos, the park features very few enclosures, allowing animals to roam freely through natural bushland habitats where visitors can walk alongside them. Guests can feed and interact with kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, potoroos, echidnas, dingoes, and a wide range of native birds. Cleland is one of only a handful of places in the world where visitors can hold a koala, with a range of koala experiences on offer from public sessions to exclusive private encounters. The park supports conservation through education and habitat preservation, and its unique free-roaming format offers an immersive and authentic Australian wildlife experience for all ages.
