Visiting Blundells Cottage
Choosing the site of the national capital
The 'Coolgardie Safe' or 'Drip Safe' was invented in Western Australia during the Gold Rush. It only needed water and a slight breeze through the hessian to keep food cool. These safes could keep food up to 8 degrees cooler than the outside temperature. They were usually kept on the verandah, the coolest place in most outback houses.
This one has a 'catcher' on the bottom to hold the water as it drips down. This also stops ants from crawling up.
