Onya Tommo, Wombarra looks like a sweet location. We're near Bundaberg, but even here is getting built out. We're headed back to FNQ eh. Stuffit.
Mate, what took you so long to link with FB? You can rely on these fellers for help. They're bloody magic. (Just watch that GJBingham bloke - he's got a twisted side, hahaha. )

I'm a Newbie, and obviously no Great (or Lesser, even) Guru. I'm using lime:cement:sand, 1:2:6 over barbed and bird wire reo. Will probly broom-finish it with an off-white cement:sand slurry, 1:1, maybe tinted with left-over grout.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, yes Tommo, the cooking versatility will exceed your wildest dreams. I just checked oven temp, and 54 hrs since last firing, it reads from 102-123C (sole to dome). Air temp is around 25C.
Now I don't know if that performance is good or bad, but the goat we slow-cooked in the camp oven last night was to die for. (The vegies were crap - my fault. "Undercooked" would be a polite description. Not good with eggplant'n pumpkin.)
Hang in there Tommo - ecstasy awaits.
Jeff the Luddite.
ps. James, I took 3 years to build our first home: be patient Lad. (Next one will be done by builders eh. Strewth, you've gotter laugh : cryin's no good. jh
