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.
Some of the benefits we offer are

national magazine, published
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

care and management, please contact
the Secretary, or anyone else listed
