Fernbrook Lodge

The other morning I looked out the front door and thought Spring must be on the way, going by the tinges of green on this winter tree. Then I realsied this is Dorrigo and that's not leaf. That's lichen!

One of my lovely guests, Anne Forbes, who is a fantastic photographer took these photos from the Lodge while at Fernbrook recently. Thanks Anne.

I recently walked to the base of Crystal Shower Falls, just minutes from Fernbrook Lodge. So beautiful.

If you missed last month's Country Style magazine, catch up with May's issue. We're in it again.

Ive just spent a wonderful morning at the rainforest centre in Dorrigo learning about its history, geology, ecological systems, birds and animals. This escarpment has always been beautiful to me. Now it is so much more precious!

I've always loved Country Style magazine and now Fernbrook Lodge is advertised in it! Check out the April edition and find our advertisement.

The long summer holiday season was full of friends and guests from far and near. Christmas guests came from China and Nepal. Then the Johnston tribe descended and so did the temperatures. We huddled around fires with heavy coats on like we did in June! The inaugural Johnno Golf Tournament over two days was won convincingly by Adrian. Then January ushered in some of the hottest days since Fernbrook Lodge opened. This weekend we welcome guests for the Stories and Songs of the People event in Bellingen - a time for indigenous people to share culture with us all. Never a dull moment here on the mountain.

It's spring time again in Dorrigo. Here is a photo taken by a guest recently of the early morning mist. We are gradually developing the paddock with a view for our visitors. The shed now has a tank attached. Two minutes after Craig finished fixing the pipes to the tank it began raining! Sometimes things go well. And the six camping spots that we have had leveled are greening up with grass. Should be lovely by Christmas. In the meantime we had a houseful of guests for the Bluegrass Festival including one of the musicians. Lots of fun.

That would be wanders (as well as wonders!).

And for the one who wonders in the garden there are lovely surprises at the moment. Like this mushroom - no touching up the colour was required!
