Welcome to Riverport Alpacas website. We are a small farm on Hindmarsh Island in South Australia breeding alpacas. Our Alpaca adventure started in 2007.
We have ample space to expand and will consider agistment of your animals on our property. Contact can be made via the email address below.
The name "Riverport" refers to the River port of Goolwa to which we are connected via the Hindmarsh Island bridge. Hindmarsh Island sits in the Lower Lakes system of the Murray River. Our climate is temperate but dry. Annual rainfall is 420mm. The proximity of the ocean keeps us cooler (24c) during the baking hot summers, though we can hit 47c (116f) on a bad day.
Occasionally we have wethers (non-breeding males) for sale as pets. They are relatively friendly can can be taught to feed from your hand. They require a little annual maintenance - sheering must be done around November and vitamin injections are needed a couple of times a year. It isn't adviseable to keep alpacas alone, so you'll need two.
