CAMPING AT BRUNY ISLAND! STFU! THIS IS WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF!!! OUR BEST EXPERIENCE YET!

Strap in for some absolutely stunning natural beauty here! If you like the coast, this place will floor you!
We did not want to leave this beautiful little Island. Around every corner, there was something new and beautiful to behold.
After being told of a campground that cost $65 a night down in the South of Cloudy Bay - quite honestly, we scoffed at the sound of that after having freecamps like Swimcart beach on the water in the Bay of Fires for well. . .free. But once we got there and were greeted by the hosts Phil and Karen, experienced some time on the beach there and in the forest. . .we were sold.
This was really a beautiful experience.
I think because I was surfing again for the first time in ages it really increased the froth of what I was feeling and having no service and just family time, cooking around the fire every night, along with the free hardwood on tap, courtesy of Phil's delivery every afternoon - just made it perfect.
We really came to some realisations here that I won't share now - because I think they come to the fore in some future episodes.
You'll notice within this video, the hero reel. This is a version of the video that I produced for Phil repurposed a little bit for this use. He paid us to make that 3 minute-ish video for him to promote the place - that's what we do in our production company for clients and we were lucky Phil needed that service while we were there and it all worked out.
But Phil did not pay anything for me to make this video for Salt, Earth and Sun - or pay us for comment on his place - or influence our perceptions in any way - other than by just being a very decent fellow. 0ur opinions are our own. We really did just fall in love with the place. Just clearing this up before there is any confusion...Or anybody feels like I was over the top (Like I did when I realises I was just constantly frothing in every piece to camera! Hahahah!)
Anyway - I hope you enjoy this clip.

Late to the party on this vid. Been doing 14 hour days and what a nice way to end one of those. Got through 3 double G&T's while watching. The end of the hero reel , was very Survivor esk...Nice work as always . Stunning.

[@SaltEarthandSun]

Hahah. Or maybe just in time. I've been working too and only just started editing the next part. 😂 Thanks for the kind words bro. Always appreciate your feedback especially. 👍 Hope you're well. 👌

I’m here from Vet in a Van , he mentioned how great your cinematography and graghicx were , second to none , I say ! !! 🔥🔥🔥❤️😎👌🏼 … Thank you for sharing your most wonderful experiences and this great and blessed country we live in !!! You and your family are so beautiful, much love light and peace to you all … 🌅🇦🇺❤️👍🏼

Hey David, Thanks so much for the comment mate! 🙏 Ahhh yes! Marcus is a dear friend and we both regularly frothed over camera's, pictures, creativity and all that wanky stuff hahaha! Miss those guys so much. Glad you liked the videos. . .more coming soon. . .Eventually!😂 👍👌

[@miriamblaker1600]

You’re right about the lack of connection. Somehow when we lose service and all that pressure to post on social media we’re really free to enjoy the moment fully. Fantastic video.

[@SaltEarthandSun]

Thanks so much Miriam. 🙏 Yeah, it's something that is not often talked about hey. . .I love making these films because I love watching them and having the memory - that other people enjoy what we create is super cool too. But social media, insta etc. . .kinda sucks hey. So much posing, posturing, fake a$$ cr@p, cross-promotional, ego stroking. . .ok I'll stop now hahahaha! 😂😂😂 I must be getting old. . .maybe I should just get a tik tok account and start doing dances and meme reels. 😂😂😂

Visited there 30 years ago in a van with the wife and kids. Best fishing ever in the Don Escastroe channel. Heaps of flathead. Changed a lot since then.

@@SaltEarthandSun Bruny is the best. We seriously talked about buying a place there a couple of years back. Heading back as part of a bigger lap of Oz in the new year and keen to check out Phil's after watching your channel.

Hey mate, do you know how I can find this campground online? Do you have a link by any chance - looks great!

[@SaltEarthandSun]

Yeah bro, just search camping at Bruny island ⛺️ on google. 👍 I think it’s actually called that. 😂👍

[@pete3103]

can you tell us the details so we can find this stay?

[@SaltEarthandSun]

It’s called Camping at Bruny Island. They have a website and a phone number. It’s not open all year. This was filmed in March if that helps. Water was about 17°C, crisp but very nice. 👍

[@mattjewell3282]

Hey Guys. Can I ask how you guys go with weight in the ranger. Have you done a GVM upgrade? Cheers

[@SaltEarthandSun]

Yes. We got a Lovells gvm and gcm upgrade. 7T GCM. It’s the only way with a 3.5T van if you want a decent setup in the ute. Getting it weighted and balanced right was a bit of back and forth working out what we could and couldn’t take. Unless you do the Lovells upgrade, you wouldn’t go with a stock ranger. Not enough GCM, not enough payload.

[@mattjewell3282]

@@SaltEarthandSun yeah ok cool. I saw your teaser on your build. Any chance the full vid is coming soon? Did the gcm upgrade change warranty on drive train? Thanks guys
