cheers, haha i thank my Grandfather for ours, Don't know how long after he got of the boat.....Somewhere between working on the riverina in Griffith and coming to Sydney But he decided one day that it was weird to live without the old school wood fire, Next thing you know there's a wood fire oven in the backyard, Built inside a double brick granny flat just to keep the oven safe LOL but he dident stop after that, He then proceeded to build them for his mates. So there's still a hand-full just around my area still kicking today. He must of build them to withstand a dam hurricane, Blooddy Concrete Moitee.
They don't breed em like that anymore that's for sure.
