You have an advantage of knowing what's wrong with Jeff.

Now I was going to say HTFU or Toughen up Princess, but don't know if he has a Man-Flu or has suffered a stroke  Undecided, so kept quiet.

So how about letting us know what's wrong Jeff so we can respond accordingly  Smiley

Ps. Has anyone suffered from Shingles?

We may be able to exchange some info on side-effects  Wink

You bought the subject up, next time don't meddle in other people's affairs and stir up trouble. Angry

Isn't if funny how people think differently but hey get out of your bubble and talk to people in the little towns were you camp and ask about some of the stories about family love ones or friend that have done them selfs in and they all say I WISH I ASKED what was up or maybe they had family or friends with a terminal illness then they would tell you how they use to just drop in to lift there sprits just by saying g'day mate how are you going or maybe just maybe they where just having a bad few days with life in general and you a traveler has just picked them up when you stopped and said hi made there day . So If you think I am trouble making how about you look into my past and find out how much I have done for family's and there freinds or just a stranger I met when shearing around the country or maybe look past your ignorance and see it's not about stirring people up its about how much of a different it makes to take a little time . And trust me this is not about chally this is about life experiences .i know it's abit blunt and its not meant to be just open your eyes and ears as it does make a different to the people that need it . But hey what do I know I am only 43

Hey Fellas I think we should leave the above alone now huh. I know Brett and how he goes out of his way to help others and is very passionate about it. As I said to him I knew what he meant and appreciated his thoughts but his posts come across rather blunt. His intentions were good I can assure you.

I would appreciate it if we could now get back on topic which is trying to help me with finding out info on the old Bedourie ovens.  Smiley

Chally did a little research on A. Simpson from Adelaide. His name came up a lot as an importer of many different things to do with his manufacturing business.
Not necessarily by him but camp ovens featured a lot in the ships cargo lists on the same voyages.
From what I can see camp ovens where imported by the hundreds in the mid 1800s.
Any idea what brand they were?

Thanks for your input Brian. I would say the camp ovens would have been Carron's, Falkirk's, and Etna's and any others that were made in England/Scotland. Some of the other fellas might know of other makes from over that way.

Jeff, I have a  very ornately decorated 14" oven which has:
  "T Sheldon & Co Ltd. Wolverhampton. 14 Inch Camp Oven" and a circle of stars on the lid. It is the classic shape, long legs and very well cast considering it is nearly a century old.

Rob.
 

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