What are you like? Valeska, when I arrived in Brisbane November 2007, there was a serious drought. But within 3 days it started to pour down. And it never stopped pouring all summer. Dams went from 30% to over 70% - you bet us Poms can bring the rain! Lance, it was my pleasure having Sami post in here. I hope to do it again. And if you love vacations in the rain, I'm going camping soon, rain will be a cert..... Sami, thanks for a great post, I owe you one.

If the fire isn't perfect, the outside will burn and the inside remains sticky. It can be very disappointing for all concerned! Next time we do it, I'll try the "stok brood" method. That'll do the trick. I'll name it "stok damper" in your honour! @Valeska Thanks Vee. Yeah, bloody Poms and bringing the rain (and I can't really say that because my boyfriend is Aussie but I will anyway ;) ). @Lance Hey there Crazy Pants Lance! Thanks for coming over and dropping in. I'll have you know, that I actually didn't go to the nudist beach with Martyn and Gemma, I just practised in our back yard while they were gone. "So, dough on a stick…interesting…but then isn’t everything that you touch that way?" Sticky? Yep, pretty much. Thanks Lance. You're the best! @Carolyn

We do it here as well. Here in South Africa we call it 'stok brood' aka 'stick bread'. But we make the dough long and thin and roll around the stick. Welcome Sami! Great to read your guest post. The nudist beach, rain and picnic was really funny... hope your pom friends are enjoying Oz. Aaah, ‘stok brood’! We do it here as well. Here in South Africa we call it ‘stok brood’ aka ‘stick bread’.
