Come on Chally where's the photos mate dont keep it to yourself now :D :D

Ok ok mate you're a bit impatient. :)

Well after leaving the Broke COG we changed our minds as to which direction we were going to go and decided to travel along the Bylong Way. We have been staying at the Bylong Recreation Grounds for a few nights as it has been raining here.

Yesterday I went into the little store come service station here as I had done the day before. However this time I noticed a doorway leading to another part of the building. Looking through the doorway and down a few stairs my eyes nearly popped out as I spied a HUGE piece of cast iron. It was a 20" Furphy. :o

I couldn't get down the stairs quick enough to have a look see. It was in great condition but rather ugly as most Furphy's are. ;D I asked the lady in the shop if it was for sale and she said she didn't think so but the owners would be back in tomorrow and to ask them.

Well this morning I wandered over and was thinking that it probably wasn't for sale and if it was my pockets wouldn't be deep enough.

Anyway I went in and asked if it was for sale and nearly fell over with surprise when she said she would sell it but she wanted $250 for it because it was a big one. A short time later I staggered out with my latest prized piece of cast iron. :)

When I got it back to the caravan I thought about something Rory (Saltbush Bill) said to me at the Broke COG that went something like this "You don't use a big oven much but they are great to look at". I believe I agree with him.  :D ;D

My wife Jude said I have now spent my pocket money for the trip - Yes dear. ::)

Anyway here are some photos.

Gee she's a beauty mate a real bloody beauty and I can't wait to see it , I will have to say that this trip is racking up some really good memories for the both of you and it has only just started

Now there's a happy looking Bloke. Good ovens do have a way of turning up in strange places when you least expect it.
Well done Mate.

A quick edit of this post.
I think I said this not long back "Dont give up Chally, you just have to keep looking and looking.
I seem to go for ages without finding any worth buying, Then often more than one turns up in a matter of weeks."

That oven was meant to be yours Chally you lucky bugger. Well done.

We'll done Chally. Would love to see that in use.

would that be the same price as the Billmans?

Awesome Jeff
Don't bother buying and scratchies or lotto for a while.
You have all your luck in that photo mate.

Aart

No more Jeff or you will be overweight in that caravan  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Well done mate, you deserve it.

If you are into Furphy's, then I guess you've hit the jackpot with the 20 incher! Good on ya mate!

Congrats Jeff a very nice find and a great price, you should be very happy  :)

Sorry for my late reply fellas but we have had internet problems but got them sorted today.

Thanks for your positive comments. I really am stoked getting such an oven. :)

Yes Rory you did say that mate. I am more than happy with this one but if another shows up I guess I won't mind. ;D

Rick that is about the price of a 12" Billmans. My new 15" Billmans with personalised lid that we are to pick up later in this trip cost close to $350.

Yeah Derek it is going to be a real problem getting all the ovens home but I think we will manage ok. ;)

Jeff

Congratulations mate, that is some find you have there and with change in your pocket, even better!
Jeff, one thing I am concerned about though. You're seriously going to have to do something about that constant big grin on your mug; the locals will want to know what your up to :) :)
