On a recent trip back to Perth from port Hedland, I always try and stop at old second-hand shops just in case I may come across an old camp oven, but no luck this time.
But passing though a small town I saw a sign saying museum open today, paid my $ 2.00 entry fee and spent a hour talking to lovely old ladies, they must have been well into their seventies, on things like washing in old copper pots taking baths in tin tubs and ironing clothes with a iron heated up on a fire, all very interesting to me.
When walking around I came across a camp oven that I have been looking for in mint condition. I offered them a $150.00 donation for it but they just smiled at me and said they get shot if they did.
Now all I have to do is drive up one night, take a ring spanner with me open up six Tec screws , peel back the tin and replace with this one, that I paid $ 5.00 for, after cleaning up first of course.
Just kidding I am a honest guy and I would never do any thing like that ;)
