Bruny Time! Camp at Cloudy Bay
I adore Bruny Island. We had been waiting a good solid week to go there but the ferry - which only takes about ten minutes - was working overtime with the Christmas crowds, and it was a three hour wait to get on. Waiting til everyone had gone back to work was a good idea. We drove straight down to Cloudy Bay, where we have been a number of times before.
By drive, I mean drive along the beach. It takes 45 minutes from the ferry to get there and you can either stay in the free camp closest to the surf break or drive a few kilometers down the beach to the National Park camp which is gorgeous. We landed an ocean view - the best spot in camp!
Even a pademelon came to say g'day. I mean it doesn't get better than that for $10 a night. In the morning we took the Defender onto the beach to make breakfast (eggy bread and tomatoes and capers) and take some media for promotion of the awning that we got heavily discounted in return for some Instagram content.
I'm glad no one was around as I felt like a wanker taking photos of the truck all laid out like that haha.
We also swam in the cold bay - it's truly magical to swim there. It's a very calm corner and safe. Sometimes you see sting rays and a few people were going out in small boats to check their lobster pots. One guy brought in a huge fella with his little kids.
Even Jamie has started swimming with me which is awesome. It does wake us up and makes us feel better.
There were big black tail cockatoos, kookaburras, sooty oystercatchers, small wallabies, seagulls, and thankfully no snakes which do hang out there. I guess it's been to busy for them.
One thing that does keep the crowds down is people's reluctance to drive their caravans on the beach or the fact they can't in a hire van. We enjoyed a really peaceful few days there and to be honest wish I'd stayed longer, but we had run out of food and water.
With Love,

Check out the influencer taking photos of their camping rig but to be fair, it's an impressive rig, even if you would 'look like a wanker' taking photos of it haha!
Looks like an awesome place to enjoy a few days !SLOTH. When I got my campervan, I always imagined I'd be taking photos like that myself, but there are only a few days in the summer when that's possible here!
Ah, that's a shame.
It does feel wanky but actually Insta has been great to meet people all round the world with Landies, which has been amazing as we have visited some and vice versa. We haven't met many true Landie people we don't like . They usually like adventure but also practical things - they fix ham radios, build tiny houses, build other crazy vehicles, like nature, and so on.
And the other thing is we get free products sometimes! Companies message and offer them to us as they get free advertising as we drive around... Like this awning, and a dash cam, the rear wheel trash bag.
So it's wanky but has its benefits haha
Ooohhh free wanky stuff? Now I might have to take advantage of the odd bit sunshine here and snap some photos of my van sitting on a hill or something. Need a new awning haha!
Yeah the community of stealth campers is an fun bunch even if most are a little eccentric. That only adds to the adventure!
Ha yes well I've been doing it all my life so I have some tricks. We have just moved up in the world having a rig like this!
Sounds like an idyllic place to find peace and quiet. Cool he's swimming with you.
It's so great! So proud of him. Now he is even stripping the wetty half mast after he gets used to it and I get some eye candy so it's a win win 😜
Peak Australia!

I honestly don't know what's happening here. Each time I've pinned it and then when it publishes it disappears. Do you think it's to do with post scheduling?
Can be. We heard that sometimes there is a problem when scheduling and putting in location via peakd. - Try to get the code from worldmappin.com and put it in the post when scheduling. Like that, you can be sure it won´t disappear.
