I can certainly set a page up but who has the knowledge and how accurate is it. Unfortunately there is very little written documentation that you can research.

As you have pointed out Derek….there is very little written documentation that people can research on old Aussie camp ovens. I for one have scoured the net over the years and come up with very little……..Until I found this site!.
It has taught me a huge amount even before I became a member. The information held on this site is the best you will find regarding Australian oven brand names ……and the history of the companies who manufactured them
My feeling on this is that there is very little to lose ….and possibly much to gain by devoting a page to this subject..
If the members of this great site don’t do it ….Who will ?????. Our society is changing rapidly, the old folk who had knowledge of these things are disappearing quickly, and most others don’t give a rats @#% about things such as camp oven History.
Many of the members here seem to have a lot more knowledge than can be found anywhere else.………..I think that over a period of time the problem of accuracy will sort its self out. through sensible debate
Cheers SBB

One of the greatest attributes of this forum is its collective sense of humor

When I die I hope my missus doesn't sell my camp ovens for what I told her I paid for them. pd

LOL! PD, isn't another name for a Missus the "trouble and strife"? Do you really need more of that?! Smiley

Exactly the point I was trying to (very unsucessfully) make! Thanks SBB!
