Perth's nature program centres on some of Australia's most unique wildlife. Caversham Wildlife Park in the Swan Valley is the closest major wildlife park to the CBD and always a school holiday favourite. The Penguin Island ferry from Rockingham adds little penguins to the list. Rottnest Island's quokkas — famously the world's happiest-seeming animal — are the highlight of any island day trip.
