CASTERTON’S Australian Kelpie Muster is preparing to celebrate its 25th anniversary this June long weekend, with a new-look festival packed with entertainment plus the return of the iconic working dog auction, anticipated to break records in 2021.

Forced to postpone festivities due to COVID-19 restrictions last year, the volunteer committee has been working tirelessly in the downtime to plan a celebration which meets state health regulations without hindering the colour and frivolity the event is recognised for.
