The beloved wombat, who was the oldest bare-nosed Wombat in the World, died this morning.
The news was announced on Patrick’s own Facebook page.
The post says the Ballarat Wildlife Park plans to erect a permanent memorial to honour him.
Patrick the Wombat came to the Ballarat Wildlife Park as an orphan after his mother was hit by a car and was raised by park owner Greg Parker and his family.
He has since become a Ballarat icon and was famous throughout Australia.
