At Group 1 lofts we have sourced the best stock available from around the world and around our country  to obtain superior winning bloodlines. We race in the strong SAHPA competition and have achieved many top results over the past two decades.
Our Bloodlines include the following premium lines: European lines via Leo Heremans, Eijerkamp Family, Koopman, Gaby Vandenabeele and from retired ace SAHPA fancier Greg Hamilton.  The Group 1 Distance lines based on  The Allen Goodger/John Pryor & Greg Hamilton families all names synonomous with success in the strong SAHPA competition, we have developed this family over many years and were SAHPA Long Distance champions in 2023. Our birds are currently winning many races for us and others across Australia. 


NB:  Some changes with our Auction site this year, the Auction site has just been upgraded to the latest version, we have changed the sniping feature so if a bid is placed in the remaining seconds of an Auction it will increase the time by 2 minutes until final bidding is complete (in line with other Australian auction sites), if you are unsure of bid has been taken please press F5 or refresh your browser immediately.

2024 News:  Our Birds won a total of 6 Open SAHPA events in the 2024 season, 3 SDC events from Stirling Nth 250 km (twice), Bookaloo 330 km, Glendambo Open 490 km, The Twins Open 610 km & Coober Pedy 726 km.  Including winning and runner up in the SAHPA Champion Bird of the year & SAHPA Ace Young Pigeon of the year.  Our birds amassed a total of 84 top 30 SAHPA Open prizes, Very pleasing results..

The Coober Pedy Open event 726 km was held on 21 September, just on 9 hrs 15 mins a pack of 7 birds from our loft landed together quite amazing for a race of this distance.  Fortunately, we won the SAHPA and took the first 7 prizes, and placing a total of 11 birds in the first 30 prizes in the open SAHPA competition against 1199 birds.  Our equal winning bird is "Bella" SA 23 220 BCH who a fortnight earlier placed 3rd SAHPA The Twins, she contains all of the best of Greg Hamilton's family being a granddaughter of SAHPA winner Tick Tock & g/g dtr of ace producer Duchess.  Our other equal winner is "Melanie" SA 23 402 BBH who was also previously placed 9th SAHPA in Glendambo Open, she is bred from top producing R Chapman cock "Chappy" and a daughter of our No 1 producer Lachlan & Emma.  Pictures are below of these outstanding birds.







The Twins Open No 2 event 610 km was held on 6 September the classic 400 mile SAHPA event is very sought after to win. Our birds amassed an amazing 9 prizes in the first 30 against 1169 birds, in a solid 8 hr 18 min fly.  We had 4 birds in the first 7 including 1st, 3rd, 4th & 7th and another 5 in the 20s.  Our winning bird is "Millie" a champion race hen already with this win her 3rd SAHPA placing for the season, her full sister also won the SAHPA SDC event from Stirling Nth earlier in the season.  She is bred from Lachie 1st SAHPA Pimba 2023 412 km against 2892 birds (a direct son of ace pair Lachlan & Bonnie) with her dam being Bloom ace race hen for us placing 5th & 6th in SAHPA races in 2022 & 2023, bred down from ace son of Olympus when paired to a top daughter of Erin.  A very pleasing performance.

We achieved some amazing results in both races.  In the Yunta race we landed 3 young cock birds taking 2nd, 3rd & 4th in the SAHPA Open competition against 1485 birds, with the winner living over 90 km from our lofts so an excellent result.  The Bookaloo race took a little longer than expected and we got the SAHPA SDC win in this race with 2 yo hen "Aphrodite" becoming the 3rd SAHPA winner from the super pair "Lachlan & Bonnie", the loft was in great form on the day with us also taking a further 7 positions in the top 20 open competition against 2101 birds, with one hen 9288 placing for the 3rd time in the top 10 this season alone.
