The wildlife park Ballarat is famous for being the first privately owned wildlife park on the Australian mainland that bred the Tasmanian Devils. Established in the 1980s, the park boasts of being home to a plethora of free-roaming animals, from kangaroos, koalas and wombats, to giant tortoises, crocodiles, tigers and more. It is here where visitors can also get a chance to enjoy different animal encounters, from cuddling wombats and petting koalas, to feeding Sumatran tigers and kangaroos, among other things. The wildlife park is also home to the smallest penguin species in the whole world.
