This makes the 3rd time we have come to Millmerran for the Camp Oven Festival. It's a really good gathering, this time approximately 1700 booked vans and campers of all varieties from all over Australia. Very well organised though, the Festival Society seem to get better each time.
Rod & Mavis had arranged this particular outing of Kedron Owners and once again did a fantastic job. Each nights Happy Hour was well attended, and we roped in some newbies and even ring-ins (non Kedrons!!). Didn't matter – it was all great fun!
We also had our own in-house Bush Poet (Tom), who kept us hugely entertained.
Shirley and her team (PotScrubbers) once again came high in the cooking results. The menu this year was quite demanding, and the weather really rotten for camp-oven cooking (very hot and dusty weather). The team beat the odds however, and came up trumps with several prizes. Shirley and her husband Clive are also Kedron Owners, so it's good to see her high in the ratings.
The Camp Oven Festival is primarily about - obviously - camp ovens and cooking, but it also includes many other aspects of bush and caravanning / camping life. There was a big display of olderly steam driven machinery, together with displays of such crafts as whip cracking, blacksmithing and a foot-operated wood-lathe. It was great to have a wander around and check out all the inviting stalls. In particular, I was looking for jams, marmalades and pickles. Picked up some Rosella Jam, but it was a long search.....

A GREAT BIG THANKS TO ROD & MAVIS AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO ATTENDED, FOR THEIR FUN AND COMPANY!
