Potoroo Palace

About ten minutes from Merimbula in the beautiful Bega Valley, savour the rare opportunity to see a koala, wander among the kangaroos, touch a snake, stroll through the cooling mist of the walk-through aviary, go for a ride on the mini train or have lunch and really good coffee at the Blue Wren Café.

You can get up close to our kangaroos, emus, peacocks and ducks who roam the park freely and hand feed them with an Animal Feed Bag. Potoroo Palace is a not-for-profit organisation passionate about caring for the Earth.

Some of the features that set Potoroo Palace apart from other wildlife sanctuaries:

• Located on the highway for easy access

• Train Rides

• Cafe located on site

• Minutes to the coast

• Beautiful native bushland setting

• Individual animal encounters offered

• Hand-feed free-roaming kangaroos

• Charity run organisation

Many of the animals at the sanctuary are native to the Merimbula area. We have seven Long-nosed Potoroos, Macropods such as Eastern Grey Kangaroos and a Swamp Wallaby, and two Bare-nosed Wombats. Short-beaked Echidnas and Long-nosed Bandicoots are all found in the Bega Valley, sometimes even entering our own backyards. Emus and even Dingoes can be found in the surrounding area. Koalas and Long-nosed Potoroos are very rare here now, but were once abundant. People come from all over the world to Australia to see our native animals.
