   • 1887, Harriet W. Daly, Digging, Squatting, and Pioneering Life in the Northern Territory of South Australia, page 55:

     Our bread was baked for us by one of the Government cooks, and the scones and cakes which we consumed so ravenously were baked by my mother in a camp oven. This primitive but useful oven requires very little description. It is a round iron vessel, standing on three legs and covered with a dome-shaped tightly-fitting lid. Fire is placed above and below, and I know no more satisfactory mode of baking bread or cake.
