30th Australian Kelpie Muster and Premier Working Dog Auction!
On behalf of the Casterton Kelpie Association, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the 30th Australian Kelpie Muster and Australian Premier Working Dog Auction. This milestone event celebrates three decades of honouring Australia’s iconic working dog, the Australian Kelpie, and the vibrant community that supports and cherishes this remarkable breed.
As a proudly volunteer-run organisation, our Association is deeply committed to supporting all things Kelpie and assisting our visitors, competitors, exhibitors, and stallholders wherever possible. If you have any questions or require further information, please don’t hesitate to reach out via email or message — we will endeavour to respond as soon as we are able.
Please note that closing dates for auction entries, festival events, and stallholder applications will be strictly adhered to in order to meet all legislative and compliance requirements. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this regard.
We very much look forward to welcoming you to Casterton this June long weekend for a celebration of working dogs, rural tradition, and community spirit. We can’t wait to share this special 30th anniversary with you.
