The Australian Camp Oven Festival was held in October 2008 and had its best festival to date and as such was recognised for their commitment to continually change, grow and evolve with the needs of the festival patrons. The festival is a volunteer based organisation and it’s these volunteers who give it its unique flavour, along with some great camp oven cooking of course!

In 2009, the exceptional work of organisations and groups involved in events and festivals from right across Queensland were recognised as part of the Tourism Queensland gala awards ceremony which was held at Jupiter’s Casino at the Gold Coast on Friday 13th November.

The Australian Camp Oven Festival was nominated for the first time in the Events and Festival category and was very happy to be named as one of the finalists in this very competitive field. With entries from every part of the state, the finalists’ field was as diverse as Queensland itself, with entries from Julia Creek to Millmerran, the Sunshine Coast to Toowoomba and everywhere in between.

Look out for the Australian Camp Oven Festival on the 2nd and 3rd October 2010, it will be back bigger and better than ever.

2010 is already shaping up to be a colossal event with new demonstrations;
attractions and events in place so:
