Caversham Wildlife Park - Perth, Western Australia

It was a cold Monday morning and we were on our way to the Caversham Wildlife Park. We were looking for a place to have our breakfast and we saw this Springs Kebabs Turkish Bakery which was 5 minutes away from the park. Since most of the shops have yet to open, we decided to give it a try. The shop was empty when we stepped in. We ordered a steak burger and chicken kebab combo which came with a chips and any 600ml drink in the fridge. The chips were good and same goes to the lemon lime drink. The food was ok but the burger bread was a bit hard and the kebab was a bit tough.

It was almost 3pm when we have completed the whole park. There's a convenience store inside the park and we bought some sandwiches, ice cream and chocolate shake for our tea break.
