About the Region

The Victorian Western Region encompasses some of the finest wool-producing country in Australia . It now has a reputation for producing outstanding alpacas and alpaca fleece as well.

Why not start your Western Victorian alpaca adventure here at our new website?

Local breeders appreciate and value the alpaca's rich range of natural colours. This is reflected in our online breeders' directory , which is designed to allow people interested in buying alpacas to quickly find studs that specialise in the colours and breeds they want. With about 5 per cent of the national alpaca herd, Victorian Western Region offers a wide choice within a relatively compact area.

You can see our alpacas “in person” at the Warrnambool and Colac agricultural shows, the massive two-day-long Sheepvention at Hamilton in early August and our main Regional event Alpaca Fest in early July. These events provide excellent opportunities to see the quality of animals and fleece available in our Region. In addition, members host the bi-monthly Regional meetings, which usually include an alpaca-related speaker or events, at their studs on the last Sunday of the odd numbered month (moving on for clashing events), where anyone interested in alpacas is welcome. See “What's on” for dates and contact details.
