Joy and Kerry have only purchased Glenview mid 2019 and are still in the process of making the property their home. Joy retired from a long term Military Career in the Navy early 2019 and has always dreamed of returning to the land after her 40 year career. Kerry is a Truck Driver and also hails from a farming childhood. The alpaca story started with three boys purchased whilst Joy was posted to HMAS Darwin on deployment in the Gulf whilst Kerry kept the home fires burning on their property also called Glenview in Canowindra, NSW the herd has now grown to 32 alpacas and the list continues. The drought has made an impact on our breeding program with only five cria born in 2019 and four due in 2020. Bowning will be our final move and we feel so blessed to have found our property, the location and the fact that we have grass and water in our dams. Becoming a Farm Stay Host has been a goal of Joy and Kerry and the venture commenced in Oct 2019, meeting families with their little ones is such a delight especially when they meet our animals which is very rewarding. The alpacas adore children and the elderly and gather around to meet and smell everyone's hair an alpaca thing!
Yass is a town in the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales. The name appears to have been derived from an Aboriginal word, "Yarrh", said to mean 'running water'. Yass is located 280 km south-west of Sydney on the Hume Highway. The Yass River, which is a tributary of the Murrumbidgee River, flows past the town. Yass is 59 km from Canberra; lying at an altitude of 505 m AMSL. Yass has an impressive and historic main street, with well-preserved 19th century verandah post pubs. It is popular with tourists, some from Canberra and others taking a break from the Hume Highway. The Yass Show is held in March, The Turning Wave Festival in September, and the Yass Arts-and-Crafts Festival in November, along with numerous other festivals and events throughout the year.
