OK, it's still open ... so will re-consider my travel plans...
Would you believe.... my mother cooked on pretty much the exact same wooden stove as the one in your photos.
Almost always burned mallee root as fire source. She could sniff the temperature of the oven. The best cakes and casseroles and stews etc you could imagine came out of the oven or from the top of the stove.
Pretty much the same shaped kettles and pots as well although I remember earlier ones were enamelled steel.
On one corner was a 5 gallon "fountain" with a very long brass tap that served as the hot water source. As kids we were not allowed to let it run dry or let the fire go out. We copped it if one or the other or both happened.
Our original house was galvanised corrugated iron just like this one although ours did have the luxury of internal lining with plaster boards (earlier version of today's "Gyprock"). It was stinking hot in the summer heat (sometimes 45C) and freezing cold in winter. The stove doubled as the house heater in the winter.
The positioning of the stove, in an alcove that abutted the house structure rather than being part of it served 2 purposes... it added floor space in the house and also meant that if the stove caught fire (particularly the chimney) hopefully the whole house would not go up. The alcove could be quickly pulled down from the outside and the fire extinguished. Chimney fires were quite common especially if it was not de-sooted regular (like every 6 months).
I just love that old long nosed car in your last photo.... wonder what it is/was? Can you imagine it in the day travelling to and from Old Andado from where?
