Great pics there Grump, if we only knew the history of those old ovens and other stuff found in the scrub.

My avatar pic is an old Metters 10" found at an early opal miners camp in SW Qld. several years ago.
As can be seen, the oven had split, bound up and twitched with wire but eventually the bum must have burnt out resulting in the old heave oh!

Those old miners out there sure had tough times, not like today with all weather camps, generators, excavator and dozer, fuel costs, lease, heritage, OH&S, rehabilitation.....oops, did I say the old timers had it tough??

Over the years we have salvaged a mass of old utensils and tools from an inevitable bush demise by rust or simply sinking into the ground.

Looking around my shed, maybe they should have been left there. But then again, I do get much pleasure poking about amongst them, reminiscing, from the light of a couple of old kero lamps

Looks very much like my 12" currently un named
