The NSW region is a vibrant and exciting region with over 500 registered alpaca breeders across the state. Across the region members also facilitate regular educational opportunities on alpaca husbandry, fleece harvesting and preparation and other aspects of alpaca industry development. They work together to facilitate fibre collection points and assist alpaca growers to interlot fleece into larger consignments for fleece buyers. They are enthusiastic and friendly people who are committed to the continued development of the Australian alpaca industry.
