Statement of Significance

Rainbow Gully Farm has regional significance as one of the earliest properties in the Olinda district established in the 1870s by George Dodd, a pioneer selector, as a farm with over six acres of orchard. The property has high local significance for its associations with the Dodd family, who played a prominent role in pioneering the district. Run as a flower farm from 1930, Rainbow Gully Farm still has five fern gullies and after 120 years is still in Dodd family ownership.
