The Property
Potoroo Palace is now offering accommodation in the form of three caravans with kitchen/bathroom/laundry with a composting toilet newly built alongside. A beautiful tipi up with the caravans can also be a living room or sleeping room and can have a fire in the middle. Guests of Potoroo Palace can learn about wildlife rescue and care with many of our staff being wildlife carers. Guests can enter the sanctuary through the café/souvenir shop, where there are daily animal talks and animal encounters available.

The Sanctuary
Alexandra Seddon is the founder and director of Potoroo Palace Native Animal Education Sanctuary, a property situated in Yellow Pinch, approximately 20km south of Bega, New South Wales. The property is a registered charity, and the wildlife park is used for tourism, education and rehabilitation of wildlife. The remainder of the property is a dedicated wildlife sanctuary, and it is Alexandra’s intention to maintain the land for the benefit of native species.
The bushland on the property spans approximately 14.6 hectares of steep rocky land forming a valley intersected by a permanent creek. Vegetation is primarily dry eucalypt woodland, featuring white (Eucalyptus globoidea) and yellow (E. muelleriana) stringybark, mountain gum (E. cypellocarpa), manna gum (E. viminalis) and Maiden’s gum (E. maidenii).
A vast array of wildlife are present including superb lyrebirds (Menura novaehollandiae), long-nosed bandicoots (Perameles nasuta), powerful owls (Ninox strenua), yellow-bellied gliders (Petaurus australis), king parrots (Alisterus scapularis), Bassian thrushes (Zoothera lunulata), sulphur-crested cockatoos (Cacatua galerita), yellow-tailed black cockatoos (Calyptorhynchus funereus), white-browed scrub wrens (Sericornis frontalis), fan-tailed cuckoos (Cacomantis flabelliformis), eastern spinebills (Acanthorhynchus tenuirostris) and musk lorikeets (Glossopsitta concinna).
