@Kalpana – Cheers to you too, my friend!
@Pamela – Welcome! Sadly, the bread won’t taste authentic unless it’s cooked over a REAL campfire!! Don’t ask me why, it’s just so!!
@Lola – There are whole recipe books devoted to campfire cooking – but damper is the BEST!

I was totally unfamiliar with campfire bread. Looks great. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, a camel race? I always thought that was only done in Africa or something haha. Looking forward to read your cockroach race though. We got a lot of that here!

@Manzanita – Google translate doesn’t really do Aussie lingo, as Mary pointed out above!! And weird to think cowboys/stockmen/wranglers/handlers are the same the world over!!
@SFlaGuy – UMMmmm… my shots show the race-track and yeah … a dearth of trees there, all right! Lots of trees not far away by the river!! Be interesting to see if the Aussie sun has the same effect on you as the Florida sun!! Always good to hear from you!!
@Bob Crunch – Welcome!! And thanx … but you should probably know my best article is yet to be written, so you’ll have to keep coming back!!
@Michelle – I’m not so sure about the camel riding after watching this!! And apparently, the famous cockroach ‘Destructo’ was ‘accidentally’ trodden on after winning a race … ah, the politics!!

Ahh I’d lve to ride on a camel! Cockroach racing? How strange! I can just imagine a huge group of people gathering around watching little bugs running around…haha

I’ve heard of camel races before but I can’t imagine cockroach races. The fruit damper looks delicious. Great article!

Ok… So where did the logs come from?? In your pictures there isn’t a tree for miles. Is that why they need the camels? To get to the forest on the other side of the desert, to get a log to chop in the hot sun?!?!?

Sorry – spent a 3 day weekend in the Florida sun.
