Welcome to Casterton – Home of the Australian Kelpie
Australia’s Event of the Year 2026!
From the streets of Casterton to the national stage – 2026 is officially the Year of the Kelpie!
The Casterton Kelpie Association is celebrating an extraordinary achievement, with the 30th Australian Kelpie Muster and Australia’s Premier Working Dog Auction crowned Australia’s Event of the Year at the 2026 Australian Event Awards.
This historic recognition places our small regional Victorian town firmly on the national stage, celebrating 30 years of passion, dedication and community spirit in the birthplace of the Australian Kelpie.
As we celebrate this remarkable milestone, we look forward to building on 30 years of tradition and welcoming you back to Casterton for the 31st Australian Kelpie Muster in June 2027.
Come for the Kelpies. Stay for the community. Experience Australia’s Event of the Year!
