Who benefits from the Australian Camp Oven Festival? Who benefits from the Australian Camp Oven Festival? Is there water onsite and is it potable? Yes there are water taps onsite and all water is treated town water and is safe to drink. Can I have a fire at my camp site? What food is available to purchase over the weekend? YES. We have been able to secure the services of a mobile ATM provider for this year’s festival. There are also 2 ATM’s in Millmerran (NAB and Heritage Bank) and the Heritage Bank Courtesy Bus runs into Millmerran and back over the weekend. [Top of page] How do I enter the Cooking Competition? You will need to complete an entry form and send it in to the organisers before the event if you are entering the Championship Competition as the organisers need to allocate enough spaces for the entrants. If you are thinking about entering the Beginners competition an indication of your intention would be appreciated but is not essential. [Top of page] Championship Competition To be eligible to win the Championship prize you must enter all events for the weekend, your entry fee into the championship competition gives you 1 campsite, entry to the festival for 4 team members, and entry to the competition. Teams of up to 4 people can enter the competition, these 4 people will sign indemnity forms at the beginning of the competition therefore those 4 people are not interchangeable with other people over the weekend. You will be allocated a site and that will be yours for the weekend. Points are allocated for prize winners and tallied over the weekend and the team with the most points will be announced as the winner. The program sets the menu for you to cook, you can cook your own recipes unless indicated otherwise, bring your own ingredients and cooking utensils etc... We encourage you to interact with the crowd as much as possible – they love to be able to talk to you to find out what you are cooking and how you are doing it. [Top of page] Beginners’ Competition This program is designed for people to come and have a go. You can choose to do just one event or all events. Meals are judged as a single serve and the rest is yours to eat. Dampers are presented to the judge’s whole. There is no free camping site when entering the beginner competition. [Top of page] What is a tea cake? In Australia, a teacake is a sweet cake of the type made with a mixture of flour, eggs, fat and sugar. Australian teacakes are sometimes sprinkled with cinnamon and fine sugar. A teacake is not frosted. That is the official definition – but there are many alternate versions of teacake available – apple teacake etc... So long as the cake is - not iced, it can have a bake on topping (but not an upside down cake) and is a solid cake (can pick it up to eat with fingers) then it will be considered a teacake at the Australian Camp Oven Festival. [Top of page] Can I use heat beads/alternative fuel source for the cooking competition? No. The competition is a traditional style competition and all cooking is to be done with an open fire/coals. [Top of page] How far are the showgrounds from Millmerran? The Showgrounds is approximately 3kms from Millmerran Township. The Heritage Bank Courtesy Bus is available from the showgrounds to Millmerran several times a day during the week leading up to the festival and over the festival weekend. [Top of page] Can I bring my dog? Yes you can bring your dog along but PLEASE remember that your dog is your responsibility – so clean up after it. No dogs are allowed in the food areas. Don’t allow your dog to sit at your camp site while you are not there and bark continuously, and please don’t bring your dog if it is not well socialised in crowds and with other dogs. [Top of page] Can I bring a generator? Yes generators are allowed – however please be mindful of other campers. Please turn your generator off at 9pm. [Top of page] How is Weather? The early spring weather on the Darling Downs can be unpredictable. The weather can range from hot and dusty days through to cool/cold evenings. Campers should come prepared for any eventuality.
