Where to buy Capon in Sydney?

Does anyone know of a Capon supplier in Sydney?

I suspect the only chance I have of trying one may be rural Victoria, or find some old farmer who has been producing them for themselves.

This interesting article:

Says they used to be produced here until hormones were banned (they had been chemically castrated).
I think you might be right about sourcing from a country town. In NSW I would think Griffith might be worth a go with it's large Italian population - I know a lot of the old guys there make salami and cheeses and other good eats like they did in the old country. No idea if that includes raising capon, however. Perhaps call a few rural butchers or delicatessens.
