Quality Retreats
The Farman family runs one of Australia's most successful residential conference groups.
The Country Place Retreat, in the Dandenongs, was the first privately owned conference venue in Australia to achieve ISO 9002 Quality Certification. The Country Place is also the Victorian Tourism Award winner in the meetings industry category for 5 years in a row.
The historic Flowerdale Estate property includes a premium quality, residential conference venue. The retreat is used for residential board meetings, strategy planning groups, international videoconferencing meetings and think tanks, by some of Australia's largest companies. Regular users include ANZ Bank, Volvo, BMW, Jacques Martin, BHP and Department of Defence.
Breeding Objectives
The Farman family has a goal to breed heavy cutting, ultra soft Huacaya alpaca fleeces. This is being achieved by careful selection of breeding females and mating them to sires that exhibit superior fleece characteristics - soft handle, bright and lustrous fibre, crimp that is deep and distinct, longer staple length, in soft fibre bundles.
Shown at right is the stunning fleece of one of the females acquired for breeding purposes. She has some of the best, proven genetics in the country. The quality of our alpacas guarantees the success of your investment in our stock.
Magnificent Farm Property
Flowerdale Estate has a long history dating back to 1842 when the original homestead was built on a 10,000 acre sheep and cattle station. The property has been continuously farmed since that time.
Today the property operates as one of Australia's premier residential conference venues and alpaca stud farms. The farming side of the property offers some of the best pastoral land in Victoria, located on fertile river flats along the King Parrot Creek.
The alpaca facilities are laid out to an efficient working plan, based on extensive research into alpaca requirements for Australian conditions. Quality fencing and water supply to all paddocks and a scientific program of pasture improvement provides the best conditions for alpaca handling and care. Undercover work areas for alpaca husbandry, including weighing of animals and shearing, complete the picture of this high quality stud farm.
