Established in 1993, Gunnamatta Stud has developed into one of the premier alpaca breeders within the Hawkesbury-Blue Mountains region of the Australian Alpaca Association. 

The principle business is situated at Galston, just 30 minutes from the Sydney CBD. Here we maintain our stud males and potential show animals. The property has been custom designed for ease of management and provides an excellent example of how to manage alpaca on small acreage. Visitors are always welcome, by appointment.

A few years ago we expanded our operations. We now have an additional facility of some 400 acres. Located mid-way between Lithgow and Mudgee at Running Stream, "Oakleigh" provides us with the capacity to maintain increased numbers of alpaca as well as the possibility of diversifying into crop production. Development of the facility is still in its embryonic stage, but once we are established, visitors would be most welcome, by appointment.

By use of selective breeding, we at Gunnamatta Stud Alpacas are dedicated to the development of superior quality animals which exhibit the desirable characteristics of fleece density, crimp, lustre & fineness. Our goal is to improve these qualities in each generation without the loss of strong and sound conformation.

On a Roll

2005 -

As relatively "small" breeders (we maintain a herd of about 130 alpaca at any one time), understand the needs and desires of new entrants to this exciting industry.  We have a good rapport with our customers and pride ourselves on our ability to build lasting relationships with our clients.

Gunnamatta Stud Alpacas is managed by Sue Maynard, with assistance from John Hay. The stud is an active member of the Hawkesbury-Blue Mountains region of the Australian Alpaca Association. Sue is currently the Secretary of the region and, in addition, we are responsible for editing the region's newsletter "Spits & Pieces"

At Gunnamatta we have a range of pregnant females, female weanlings and yearlings for sale, as well as young males and wethers.  Colours include solid white, fawn and grey. In addition, we have a number of older females who would be ideal as recipients in ET programs. All are proven good mothers.

For a current listing, please search our sales list or visit the relevant page.

All females, young males and stud males (with the exception of Ambersun Gallipoli) are covered under the National Johne's Program MN3 (NA080047) & Q-Alpaca (05/0110).  Buyers can therefore be assured that their purchases will be free of this potentially devastating disease.

All females and stud quality males come with a guarantee of fertility.

Mobile matings available, conditions apply.
