Heading off to Cape Y. in 2 weeks via outback NSW and O/B QLD and so I thought I should buy a
cook book for camping out meals.
I can't beleive what I came
home with......
Has anyone seen Jack Absalom"s "Outback Cooking in the
Camp Oven"?
First recipe is Spag soup....ingredients 1 kangaroo tail!
Second one is Galah soup....'' '' '' '' 3 Galahs etc and on it goes "Kangaroo legs, Kangarootail joint, under ground mutton...and more, is this guy serious.
Do I buy this meat on my way or do I have to hunt for it? maybe fresh "road kill" would do.
I guess what I need is someone to recomend a simple and basic
cook book suited to a urban cowboy in transit to somewhere.
Your help please???DOING IT! LOVING IT!

Hi Graham,
That book's a ripper!
Guess you are taking a fridge. Get your meat cryovac'd, last stop is Carins, I believe, for that.
Mentioned this the other day following another query - check out the Women's Weekly "Almost Vegetarian" cookbook, which has a heap of good
recipes which you can add meat if desired. The good thing is that there are heaps of
recipes which use pasta, dried beans, chick peas, etc, which need no refrig.
I have a few useful ones if you want; email me at

G'day Graham,
You don't need a book mate - put the money to better use.
Just use your imagination and learn as you go.
You'll be surprised with what you come up with - especially when its lubricated with a bit of the hard stuff [both in the recipe - and in your own mouth as you
cook :) :) :) ]
This is how some of the best bush
recipes have evolved :) :)
enjoy mate

Thanks one and all for you suggestions, I have seen Viv & Ron Moons book on this site and thought it might be the one more suited to me but I went for the cheaper one I have.
I like your idea Old Soldier but being a single guy I need to know what basic ingredients to take along.
Worst case is I just eat "Cowboy Caviar" for 5 weeks
Thanks again Graham(vic)DOING IT! LOVING IT!
