For those of you who enjoyed watching Tommo the
Camp Oven
Cook, you may be saddened to hear like i was, that he apparently passed away on Boxing Day. i really enjoyed watching Tommo as he was a true Aussie character, nothing polished about him, just out there enjoying camping and exploring our great country like so many of us do.
RIP Frank 'Tommo' Thompson.

How damn sad. The man was a real Aussie always looking for the next opportunity to do business while making many friends
I first met Tommo some 10 years ago when he was venturing into the camper trailer market, which did not last too long as it was just before that category of camping again became popular. He was a real 'breath of fresh air' with his trust in people and a natural conversationalist.
He then moved onto the Great South East (a weekend outdoors programme on channel 7 in
Brisbane) as a guest cooking expert in bush cooking and unusual ingredients. He cooked some wonderful meals over the years that help people get into using a
camp oven.
He was still in great demand on the festival circuit dishing up his special comradarie to all who would stop to talk to him.
Rest in peace Tommo, I'm sure that the quality of food in
Heaven has gone up considerably.
