Alpaca & Animal Park
Guide Falls alpaca and animal park
The Guide Falls Alpaca and Animal Park is a fully working stud farm with 80 alpacas located next to Guide Falls, about 15 minutes drive south of Burnie.
A modest entry fee includes guided tour of a working farm to see alpacas, birds, peacocks, rabbits, ferrets, sheep, goats, trout and other animals. You can enjoy a cuppa in the tea room and explore the gift shop which has an extensive range of alpaca fleece, yarn and garments.
During the fishing season extra large rainbow trout can be caught from the trout display.
Alpaca hair is a hollow fibre, which makes it lighter and warmer than sheep’s wool. Once you have knitted with alpaca yarn, it is difficult to go back to using other fibres because it is so soft and easy to work with.
