While browsing the Web I came across a Perth (Australia) restaurant, with
an email address, so wrote to them explaining the problem and asking if
they could send me a recipe for Damper, which is the name given to a
variety of bread cooked by outback travellers in the ashes of a camp fire.
The name derives from the word "damper" meaning something that satisfies
appetite, as in a snack.
