No. Alpacas are certainly not native to Australia. They are a relatively recent addition to Australia, being brought in as exotic farm animals in the 1980s.

They were introduced originally in the 1800s, but this attempt did not succeed.

What country alpaca lives?

Alpacas are native to the Andean Mountain range of South America, particularly Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and Chile. They are specially adapted to handle very high daytime temperatures and freezing night-time conditions. Cousins to the llama, alpacas are now found in many countries. They were first imported into the USA in 1984, and as well as being used for farming, are often kept as pets. Alpacas were initially introduced to Australia in 1858, but did not survive. More recently, they were reintroduced to Australia in 1988.
