We are an active, friendly group of donkey enthusiasts committed to upgrading
the status, improving the care and encouraging the use of DONKEYS in New
South Wales and throughout Australia.

quarterly. It contains news, photographs and articles on all aspects of
donkey care, training and equipment, from all over Australia and overseas.
"BIG EARS & DONKEY TALES"- Our own, State, newsletter.
Published every second month, giving donkey news from New South Wales,
articles and letters from members and details of our regular activities.
It also features advertisements for donkeys and donkey gear. This is your
"voice", so please contribute.
NATIONAL STUD REGISTER - This contains breeding details of donkeys through
- out Australia and is open to all members to register / transfer their
donkeys.
ACTIVITIES - A Championship Show is held annually. Activity Days are
also held regularly in various locations, where experienced donkey owners
share their knowledge on a broad range of subjects. We also conduct other
social activities, trail rides, Christmas Party, etc.

and management, please contact the Secretary, or anyone else listed on
the first inside page of our newsletter.

hard to get from other sources. It also sells many other useful items,
including float stickers, cards, badges and other donkey "odds and
ends".

acknowledgment, through testing, of your donkey's progress and ability.
CONTACTS - With other donkey owners and other donkey societies in Australia
