This cooler was one of Australias first cabinet coolers.

Can be used with coal out of a fire , line the inner wall
with coals , wet them down , and sit your cooler in the
breeze.

Camping coolers use the same method today, with a water absorbent material on the outside covered with perforated aluminum and plastic inside,

Good for keeping your beer cool Bruce.
