Title: G'day
Post by Chally on Mar 15^th, 2012 at 5:43pm

G'day Everyone,

I have been lurking on the site for a couple of weeks and like it so I thought I better join and introduce myself.

I'm not such a great cook but have enjoyed goin' bush camping, Bowhunting and 4WDing for most of my life. I have an old camp oven that was my fathers which I have used a bit over the years.

I enjoy taking photos while I'm out and about seeing our great country.

I'm sure I will learn a lot (already have) from the forum.

Jeff

Thanks for the welcome fellas, appreciated. :)

Nelson, No my oven isn't an Albion but from looking on this forum it is the same as the one in the 'Queensland Railways Camp Oven' thread.

My father was quite old when I was born in 59 (his first wife passed away and he married my mum and had a second family) and the oven was around when I was a kid. It is the 12 inch one but it never had a handle on it. :-/ My home town is Childers so not far from Bundaberg where the oven may have been made from what I read in that thread.

Jeff, there is a member here goes by the name of poddy dodger. If you are nice to him he could create a good handle for that old Railway Camp Oven for you.

Sorry PD, couldn't resist it 8-)

Cheers
