A short walk or ferry hop from the city across the Swan River in South Perth, Perth Zoo packs a remarkable collection into leafy, mature grounds first planted in 1898. The Australian Bushwalk winds past kangaroos, koalas, wombats and a nocturnal house, while the African Savannah and Asian Rainforest hold giraffes, rhinos, orangutans and painted dogs. The zoo is known for its conservation breeding, returning numbats, dibblers and western swamp tortoises to the wild. Shaded lawns and towering trees make it as much a garden as a zoo, and the city skyline rises just across the water.
