We had fun with the alpaca folk in Canberra, and some curious
visitors who were new to alpaca. Like Bizzy Lizzy, who enjoyed
touching the fleece on the suris and huacayas. Click the link to see more pics.

This medium/ dark grey suri Lowanna Solstice is producing well: great conformation grey and black suris and many females to boot!

As an Intermediate, Solstice was Best Grey Suri Male at Colourbration.
Solstice is for sale as a stud male to bring his genetics to your herd. Now at an affordable price of $9000. Offers or payment plans considered. As he is a good worker, shared ownership is also an option.

Thanks to Jess and her team of volunteers for organising a friendly, well-run show as they do each year -come rain or shine (and yes- we had both!!) Canberra is so accessible for vehicles and trailers, and not an expensive destination to stay/ eat. I hope to be back again next year. No fleece show this year, but it should be back, bigger and better next year. Here are our halter results.
