Bogracs
The soul brother of the Aussie barbecue is the bogracs, a heavy, cast iron kettle used to cook outdoors. Resembling a witch’s cauldron with its rounded sides, the bogracs sits over fire and is a central part of camping and special celebrations such as weddings and is predominantly seen as the man’s domain. Cook-off competitions are held during summer and recipe secrets fiercely guarded as the best dishes are judged.
