Thread: Camp Oven

Several years ago now tagged along with some Aussie mates for a 4 week 4wd trip from Cairns up to Weipa, up to the tip of cape york, back down the eastern side to Cairns again. Plenty of beer (until the ice blocks finally melted and the bottles all smashed) and fishing along the way. Had never come across a camp oven before that trip. Impressive what they could cook in one!! Our group bumped into a young couple from Perth on their second lap of Australia. The girl upon learning it was my birthday baked the most amazing sponge cake in their camp oven I've ever had. Or my judgement may have been clouded by a non-stop diet of steak, sausages, bacon and beer. Nah it was definitely a good cake.
