How to build a Beach Bonfire

Ingredients

A lighter or matches Dry leaves Twigs Newspaper Larger sticks Wooden logs Large rocks

Method

1. Dig a level/large hole in the sand and surround with large rocks 2. Place dry leaves, twigs and newspaper in the hole - this is called kindling.. 3. On top of that place larger sticks, stacking them so that there is lots of airflow around each stick (like a tipi) 4. On top of that place 3-5 even larger sticks also like a tipi 5. Light your kindling 6. When the larger sticks start taking light add a log 7. Give your mate a high five, you just mastered what humanity have been doing for generations. The basic human right of lighting a fire. 8. Watch it burn. Then use it to cook your damper and mussels from our Recipes for a Seaside Feast blog post.
