Recognizing the relationship between great food and good stories as an essential part of any outback adventure, this campfire guide provides not only recipes but also fascinating tales of Australia's outback explorers, adventurers, heroes, and villains. Outdoor cooking techniques and equipment are explained—such as camp and Bedourie ovens—as well as tips on how to choose ingredients, keep food fresh, and select firewood. With accompanying stunning images by award-winning photographer John Hay, the book's numerous recipes have been tested in the toughest bush country conditions.
