African Lion Safari (Warragamba)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The African Lion Safari operated near Warragamba on the outskirts of Sydney.
Originally opened by Stafford Bullen in 1968, the park attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.
With Sydney's increased urban sprawl bringing the suburbs ever closer to the park, it eventually closed in 1991.
The park continued to hold animals there that were used in a circus. On August 7 1995 a lioness escaped from the park and killed a dog, the lioness was also killed. As a result of the escape the park was required to upgrade facilities. A bear had also previously escaped and was shot by residents.[1]
