Cleland Conservation Park is a protected area located in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia about south-east of the Adelaide city centre.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.environment.sa.gov.au/parks/Find_a_Park/Browse_by_region/Adelaide_Hills/Cleland_Conservation_Park )〕 Cleland Conservation Park conserves a significant area of natural bushland on the Adelaide Hills face and includes the internationally popular ''Cleland Wildlife Park'' and the popular tourist destinations of Mount Lofty summit and Waterfall Gully.〔 It is maintained by the South Australian Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources (DEWNR).〔 The conservation park was named for Sir John Burton Cleland (1878-1971), a renowned naturalist, microbiologist, mycologist and ornithologist, and member of the Royal Society of South Australia. After a career in medicine and pathology, Cleland became keenly interested in wildlife conservation.〔R. V. Southcott, 'Cleland, Sir John Burton (1878–1971)', Australian Dictionary of Biography, National Centre of Biography, Australian National University, (), published in hardcopy 1981, accessed online 18 April 2014.〕 The conservation park is classified as an IUCN Category II protected area. ==Cleland Wildlife Park== The Wildlife Park is accessible by sealed road from both the South Eastern Freeway and Greenhill Road, and on foot on a formed but steep track from Waterfall Gully or Mount Lofty.〔http://www.southaustraliantrails.com/trails.asp?id=13811 Retrieved 15-05-2009〕 A limited public bus service operates (Route 823: 3 journeys each day).〔http://www.adelaidemetro.com.au/ttsearch.php?action=search&searchtext=823 Retrieved 15-05-2009〕 A fee is payable to enter the Wildlife Park (but not to the Conservation Park except for car parking at Mt Lofty summit). Cleland Wildlife Park offers visitors an opportunity to walk through large enclosures and interact with Australian animals such as kangaroos, koalas and emus, and to see others including wombats, dingos and many bird and reptile species. The park also has a variety of rare and endangered species such as the yellow-footed rock-wallaby, bush stone-curlew and brush-tailed bettong. Facilities include a souvenir shop, cafe and toilets. Many visitors pay to be photographed holding koalas.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Photobucket )〕 Several other options are available to visitors, including an Aboriginal guide on a Cultural Tour of the Yurridla Aboriginal Trail, which explains dreaming stories of dingoes, emus, koalas and Yurrabilla, the creation ancestor, and a nightwalk, uncovering the secrets of the bush. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cleland Conservation Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
