ALPACAS AT AUSTRALIA DAY CELEBRATIONS

Sometimes the crowd was 5 or 6 deep.

Ruby Tuesday meeting some new friends.

Our three alpacas, Melody, Ruby Tuesday and Lyric delighted the crowds at the RACV Australia Day Celebrations in the Domain.

For the second year the Domain has been the destination of the colourful Australia Day Parade of the many nationalities represented in Melbourne.

The Roulettes were amazing, the 21 gun salute reverberated through the air and the crowd was bigger than ever. There was a huge amount of interest in our alpacas and the array of product we had on display.

On occasions, the pen was surrounded by an audience 5 or 6 deep with our three alpacas forever keen to be hand fed while the cameras clicked and flashed capturing the happy faces of adults and children alike.

Ruby Tuesday, Melody and Lyric will be out again at the Red Hill Market on Saturday, Feb 4th, so if you missed them on Australia Day, come along and meet them at Red Hill on the magnificent Mornington Peninsula.

OUR FIRST CRIA FOR THE NEW YEAR

PR Mocha with Muffin- day 1

PR Mocha - Day 1

PR Black Raider's first progeny has arrived.

Muffin, a fawn and white multi, and mother of appaloosa, Yuki, gave birth on 8th January.

Mocha, is a lively little male with the most lustrous brown fleece. To produce a solid colour from a multi, is quite a challenge. it will be interesting to see Raiders next cria due any day now from a solid white mum.
