Derek it is one of the six ovens from Alexandria Downs Station in the NT. It is a 36" oven the same as the one Ned Winter has at the entrance to his property. I will be picking it up tomorrow but no, it is not mine. I am picking it up for friends of ours.

Wow, that’s a biggie. I have a photo of the one at Ned’s gate and now I remember the ears were that odd shape.

Thanks for the info Jeff.

Has that been confirmed David. I always thought there was a question mark over it.

Tadpole normally 24 inch is about as big as they get, the story goes that those six were made that size by mistake.

Derek, information I received recently from a past manager on Alexandria Station says that yes the ovens were made in Toowoomba.

For a lot of money tadpole but not as much as the 24" oven at the recent Toowoomba auction sold for. It's not my place to say what it sold for mate.
