Oakvale Wildlife Park is a family-owned accredited farm committed to helping visitors learn about native Australian wildlife and how they can protect it. They have a koala breeding program and also participate in another program, Devil Ark, which is working to save the Tasmanian Devil whose population has crashed since 1996 when the first signs of a fatal facial cancer was found in devils.
Besides these good works, they have a wonderful array of Australian animals on display. The koala photos in the last blog were all taken at Oakvale.
