Royal Melbourne Alpaca Show 2018- now a Colour Show!

We were excited to have the chance to come back to this show after 8 years- back for the colour!  A big thanks to the organisers.

We had great facilities plus background music from a variety of chooks and ducks and geese, not to mention the turkeys. There were also several interested and respectful members of the general public who came through to check out the alpacas.

Tularosa had suris entered in black and grey for halter and fleece classes with some nice results.

2018 Royal Canberra Show Results

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.
