Those who have known me a while will know I lived in Wagga Wagga for a couple of years during my chequered career so catching up on folks at present.

Will sort photos in the next few days.

It was a small affair with Dennis & Mary, Maggie & me, Rob & Lorraine and Lindsay & Jeannie.

We tended to share cook a bit with everyone contributing to a meal.

Stay tuned.

Ok, back on full Internet.

As I said it was only a small COG but what a weekend. Great company and some very nice food cooked over the weekend.

Maggie and I stayed for the full week following the COG as it was such a nice place.

Here is a pictorial

The fireplace

Rob's Damper for morning tea

Morning tea and Derek's chicken and cheese sausage rolls

Jeannie's roast beef

Two pots of vegetables

Carving the beef

Vegetables galore

Dehydrated beans and the gravy

As formal a dinner as it gets in the bush

Morning tea again - Maggie's curry vegetable samosas (These are usually deep fried but this batch were baked)

Derek's lunch time shepherds pie

Couple of old cooks comparing notes

Under the Volcano is a roast lamb

That's how lamb should be

Baked vegetables. May not seem many but that is a 17" Hardings camp oven

Jaffles for breakfast

Another view of the camp site along the river. This was taken after everyone left except Maggie and myself

Eggs, baked beans, left over curry, left over stew, left over shepherds pie.

There isn't much you can't put in them really.

Everything looks good Derek [smiley=chef.gif]

The roast beef, did that sit on top of water only? I remember mummsy doing that for a very tender roast.

Heatbeads, coals & gas. They all got a workout :)

Any night campfire pics? Or did you all hit the sack when the sun went down :)
