HOW OUR TEAM OF WRITERS MADE THIS ISSUE
CLOSE
ENCOUNTERS OF
THE MARSUPIAL
KIND
“One of my favourite moments in
Perth was at Caversham Wildlife
Park, where we had the chance to
meet a wombat, feed kangaroos and
pet a koala (koalas smell divinely of
eucalyptus)! The wildlife park is less
of a zoo and more of an educational
conservatory of about 200 species
and more than 2,000 animals, birds
and reptiles.” Read more of our
associate editor’s tips on exploring
Perth (especially on an empty
stomach) on p30.
