Kyabram Fauna Park
By JAMES ANTHONY
 If
you have a spare afternoon - or even just a couple of hours
- and are in the Kyabram area in the north of Victoria then
you may want to check out the Fauna Park there.
The 55 hectare site contains open parklands, lakes and enclosures
for more than 500 Australian native animals, birds and reptiles.
There are finches, cockatoos, emus, kangaroos, wallabies,
owls, dingoes, koalas, tassie devils, lizards, snakes and
... best of all ... wombats.
The Fauna Park also features one of the laziest crocodiles
I've ever seen - the creature was so still I thought he was
stuffed until the squeals from the littlies told me otherwise.
There is a cafeteria within the park and on a warm day you'd
be wise to cart a few waterbottles around because it can get
quite hot.
That aside this is a very good wildlife park to pop into
and it contains a terrific range of little and bigger beasties
to have a look at.
The Kyabram Fauna Park is on Lake Road, Kyabram - 2 hours
from Melbourne, 30 minutes from Echuca
or Shepparton - and is open between 9.30am and 5.30pm.
