Blackwattle Alpacas - tours and picnics! Our primary goal in our breeding program is to breed well natured alpacas with calm temperaments.

We are a small enough stud to allow us to spend quality time with each and every alpaca, and this in turn teaches our alpacas to trust humans more. We train and handle our alpacas calmly and respectfully and give each alpaca time to understand what it is that we are asking them to do. From fully understanding their body language and how they think we tailor our training to suit their needs. We off
er a range of alpacas for sale: pets, herd guards, pregnant females with cria and herd starter packages at reasonable prices. Packages available to suit any budget and property size. We can help you if you’re having handling issues with your alpacas or if you want to learn a different way of handling alpacas in a more kind and respectful way. We offer guidance and training hits and tips and are more than happy to share any information that we have learnt along the way.
Happy National Wattle day! Today we celebrate the seasonal change by recognising our traditional floral emblem and all that it represents for Australian people. Wattles are adaptable and resilient, and in recent times have become a national symbol of remembrance and reflection. Our farm is covered in wattle, hence the name, and will soon be lit with golden pollen that Spring brings.
Looking to try something different? Come on over to Black Wattle Alpaca Farm to say G'day to some of our llamas, alpacas and goats!🥳 Booking information in bio.

Lunch with the Lllamas! Start your tour by meeting one of our adorable llamas, patting and taking a couple of photos with him. Our experienced tour guide will then take you into one of our paddocks where you will get to hand feed our happy herd from a bucket filled with yummy alpaca snacks. While you are surrounded by our herd happily munching away from your bucket, our tour guide will tell you about our farm and you will learn all about our alpacas and llamas. How some got their names, the very quirky personalities of others and what they do during a typical day living on our farm! After meeting our herd you will then sit down and enjoy a sizzling selection of BBQ food while watching our hungry alpaca herd munch away on their feed. Nature provides a stunning backdrop for this tour, with picturesque views of the Brindabella Ranges. Make sure you bring your camera to capture all the adorable and heart-warming moments! https://blackwattlealpacas.com.au/lunch-with-the-llamas/
Trying to get some work done on the farm today was a real challenge! # when your 'supervisor' knows best and is very hands on! Mr Frascati keeping a "very" close eye on Kyle, one of our volunteers today, when he was raking the paddock. According to Mr F, Kyle needed to be supervised closely! #trainthetrainer #supervisor #funnyllama #funnyboy #funny #canthelphimself #llamafarm
