We are passionate about looking after our earth.
AIMS: to educate, conserve and work together with community groups and organisations to achieve greater public awareness of the solutions to the problems facing our planet.
We have immense gratitude and respect for the First Peoples of this land and the depth of importance they placed on care for the environment. We would like to show people ways of living with native animals and valuing the big trees and wild places which are their homes.
We also aim to excite and inspire people about our native wildlife through education and by example, to show people that even as individuals we can all make a big difference by contributing to: the protection of our natural world, those who inhabit and depend on it, and ultimately the quality of the world which our children will inherit.



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
Our aims are:
•To improve the habitats and wellbeing of the native animals already in our care
•To promote public awareness of their plight in the wild
•To educate the community about the importance of the conservation of our unique Australian native animals and plants.

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.
