1–3 October 2010–Millmerran Camp Oven Festival

Commemorating traditional Australian Camp Oven cooking and the lifestyle activities associated with it, this festival sees professional and amateur cooks use cast iron camp ovens, cooking over open fires at the local showgrounds. Camp Oven cooking competitions, billy boiling speed tests, a damper throwing competition and live country music make this festival a great weekend for the whole family to fill up on!

We arrived on Friday 1 October to find that the showgrounds had dried out substantially from the rain.  there were still a few boggy patches, but the festival organisers were working hard at laying sawdust and wood-chips – anything that would absorb the moisture.

By Saturday, we had the full complement of Kedron owners.  For us, the weekend was more about socialising with friends.  Some of whom we haven’t seen for quite some time.
