Kyabram Fauna Park

The Kyabram Fauna Park is the premier Fauna Park in Country Victoria, based in Kyabram, Victoria, Australia.

Launched as a non-profit venture in 1976, the Park is a sanctuary to over 400 species of animal in an area of 55ha, who can all be viewed and many interacted with. The Fauna Park offers a walkthrough aviary and a heated reptile house containing snakes and fresh-water crocodiles. Other animals in the Park include the parma wallaby, the alpine dingo, Tasmanian devils, wombats, echidnas, emus, koalas, wombats, kangaroos and Cape Barren geese.

The park is home to the cottage of French adventurer, navyman and soldier Theodore Hazleman built in 1867. Hazleman, before settling in the area, sailed the seas as a cabin boy and survived the American Civil War. In Kyabram he set up as a wheat farmer and fathered 13 children.
