RULES

In the years before widespread distribution of electric power Australians relied on their fireplaces for warmth, comfort and the preparation of food. On any winter's night during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Australian families gathered around the fire to read, sew or discuss the day's events as the flames gradually turned to embers.

For repairs and restoration work on the fireplaces in your old house, visit your nearest restoration shop or contact the specialists listed here.
