'Cloudy Cauldron' is beautifully located on the Dorrigo Plateau. |
"The
Cloudy Cauldron" is a working farm, with a focus on supplying fruit and
vegies to the local area. Jodi and Michael have landscaped on a grand
scale, drawing on their farming backgrounds and extensive knowledge to
create an edible wonderland that still has room for frivolity and
flowers.
We have visited this near Dorrigo site before and it is always exciting to see new developments made by the industrious couple.
This visit is Mid Autumn although climate change has meant a very unseasonable hot autumn. The day was wet and breezy.
