Great video. Thanks for sharing your adventures. What sort of fire pit have you used ? Is it designed to not burn the grass ? Interested to learn more. I love your beach caddy, we have just bought a caddy crew 🙂

[@drivesurfcamp]

Thx for your comment. That is a fire pit designed to keep smoke in. It works well but I ended up burning the grass that day… 😂 I’m using a different one now that is elevated from the ground. Loved the Caddy such a good little van… sold it a year ago and have a VW Crafter now… Check the fire pit from Zorali.

Very relaxing, nice vid, can see you really put a lot of effort into your videos👍

[@drivesurfcamp]

Thanks a lot Ben. I do, and I love it. It’s a lot of fun… ✌🏼 All the best.

[@joelampiloquio8852]

what / where did you get your van awning? is that just for the caddy beach?

[@drivesurfcamp]

Sure, here it is: www.nomadnature.com.au/collections/moonshade

[@paulineh4019]

Nice video, top spot. What make is your chair and table and where did you purchase please. The ones listed under Gear are different. Thanks. Also are you happy with the Moonshade and it's stability/attachment?

[@drivesurfcamp]

The chair is from Front Runner www.bcf.com.au/p/front-runner-expander-camping-chair/648947.html And the table came with the van, so it’s from Volkswagen and I believe you can purchase it from their parts team, maybe? Happy with the Moonshade when it’s not raining. Water does get through the canvas in heavy rain. Perfect for sunny day though.

[@paulineh4019]

@@drivesurfcamp Thank you for the info, much appreciated.

[@joelampiloquio8852]

one last question before making my booking here, what area on the farm is your campsite? is this on the Pelican Landing or at the Middle Lake? I like your area.. Thanks.

[@drivesurfcamp]

I think if you ask the property owner she’ll tell you. Ask her where Giovani Mazza stayed and just ask for the same spot. She’s got 3 different ones and mine was more “to the side”away from the other ones. Have fun.
