Pitch that tent and let your SOUL take a breath 🌲🏕️

There’s something incredibly grounding about feeling the earth beneath your feet as you wrestle with poles and stakes to create your own little sanctuary in nature. The physicality of setting up camp works your muscles in new ways, getting your blood pumping and ENDORPHINS flowing.

But it’s not just your body that benefits. As you put in the effort, you can’t help but feel a sense of ACCOMPLISHMENT wash over you. A tent may seem like a simple thing, but there’s something deeply satisfying about creating your own shelter with your own two hands, becoming one with the great outdoors.

With each hammer of the stakes into the dirt, you reconnect to the primal side of your being that modern life so often covers up. The stresses of the day fade into the background as you focus entirely on the present task at hand.

When it’s all set up, you can sit back and bask in your cozy achievement, feeling at peace among the trees. The fresh air revitalizes your lungs, the sounds of nature soothe your mind, and you remember what it’s like to just...be.

So grab that tent and head for the hills. Work your body, calm your mind, and reunite with the wildness within. After all, the greatest campsite is the one you build with your own strength 💪⛺

Hope you will all have an amazing weekend ahead and let me know what you’re up to on the Peninsula. We will likely go for a swim BRRRR….., and hopefully fit in some more exploring!

Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and I know many moms have high expectations for the perfect celebration. But this year, I’m trying to let go of those expectations and just be present in the moment.

⛺️🌻💕

The truth is, no Mother’s Day will ever be picture-perfect. The kids will likely make a mess, the fancy brunch will get cold, and there will be meltdowns and chaos. But that’s motherhood in all its messy, beautiful glory.

Instead of stressing about making everything Instagram-worthy, I’m going to embrace the realness. I’ll savor those sticky hugs and handmade cards. I’ll laugh at the spilled orange juice and piles of crumbs. Because those are the memories that really matter.

This Mother’s Day, I’m not going to sweat the small stuff. I’ll be thankful for my wonderful children and make the most of our time together. Maybe we’ll have a living room picnic or go on a goofy CAMPING trip. As long as we’re laughing and making memories, that’s all that counts.

So mamas, let’s take the pressure off this Mother’s Day. Ditch the pinterest-perfect expectations and just BE with your babies. Soak up all the love, craziness, and joy. Those are the moments we’ll cherish forever.

SHARE this with YOUR EPIC mum friends, because trust me, they will relate!

For Mother’s Day we have only 5 TENTS left for rental - $99 for 1 night

RENT A TENT ⛺️ IS MAGIC and closest to my heart than anything else. Rent a tent is about: TEAMWORK, EXPLORING, RESILIENCE, COURAGE and BRAVERY.

Anzac Day 2023

A National day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand that broadly commemorates all Australians and New Zealanders "who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations" and "the contribution and suffering of all those who have served".

A sentence with so much meaning for so many people. Not only Australians and New Zealanders but people all over the world.

I never forget the day I had my interview for the Royal Military School. I was only 17 years old, and all I knew was that I wanted to make a difference. Nervous about what those 3 high-ranking officers would have to say about my application. Barely old enough to carry a weapon, not realizing that I would be a Diemaco C7 Instructor a couple of years later. Long story short, I got accepted and a new world opened. A world where I found the meaning behind comradeship, courage, commitment, and determined to complete a "mission"

While I'm writing this my thoughts go everywhere. 12 Years of experiences that made me into the person I am today. TF55 Afghanistan.....

Who would have thought that an Australian officer I had met in Afghanistan would shake my hand in Australia only 4 years ago? I caught someone breaking into my neighbour's home, and after I sorted it out, I called the police to report the situation. The look on the officer's face when he gave me a hand. 'I know you'. 2009 Afghanistan.....
There was no need for words to be said, experiences to be shared, or questions to be asked. We just knew, and we trust......

Sometimes silence is the best way to remember, appreciate, and honor those who look after us.

My thoughts will be with my mates, both in Australia and The Netherlands. Those who served, who are currently making a difference, and all the families who lost loved ones, are currently missing their loved ones and are fearful about their lives. And lastly, my thoughts are with my granddad and my brother, who both served in the armed forces.

Another Mother's Day recommendation is visiting The Briars !

🐨🌿🐨

The Briars, located in Mount Martha is a beautiful conservation park. This park is so much loved by our own family and goes back to the day we arrived in Australia. Our very first photo was taken right there while enjoying the Balcombe Estuary boardwalk. Later on, we celebrated birthdays at this amazing location, had photoshoots to announce our pregnancy, and hosted many other events.

But for you Mum, this is a location to UNWIND. You can choose to bring along the family to enjoy some of the following:

- The Wildlife Sanctuary
- The Community Forest ( open daily )
- The Shire Nursery ( open Wednesday to Friday 9am to 3.30pm and 1st Saturday of every month 9am to 1pm )

Or say hi to one of the amazing rangers at the Visitor Centre!

And while you are there we recommend you sit down for a nice cuppa at Angus and Rose.

However, I like to go there on my own. Just to go for walk to connect with ourselves.

Have you been here before? I hope so, and if not, Mothersday could be perfect.

Ps. Access is FREE........🫶

Point Leo Foreshore Reserve is one of our owners' absolute favorite camping spots.
A place for storytellers, and it has all the ingredients for you to SLOW DOWN!

🔹

In a world where stimulations are everywhere, it's the ocean air, community, and stillness that makes your mind wander to places of calm. A place to reflect, be respectful and kind, and most importantly a place to recharge or adjust needs in a world where it's challenging to just focus on you.

To us, it would have even been better if there was no phone reception, but we got a solution for you.

With Mother's Day coming up ( Sunday, May 14 ), we will be sharing some of our favorite activities and locations for you to be YOU.

Starting off with Point Leo Foreshore GLAMPING seems like the right thing to do as bookings will only be limited!

HOW TO BOOK ℹ️:

Send an email to [email protected] with your name, preferred booking date, and other comments that might be relevant. Don't forget to mention that this experience will be for Mother's Day, and you will receive an email with everything that is included and optional services at additional costs.

GIFT VOUCHERS are also available and can be used all year round.

We will be sharing our next recommendation coming Friday. This doesn't include camping but does include the right experience.......

TIPI tent rental, picnic and glamping experiences on the Mornington Peninsula. We provide uniquely styled setups on public campground or on your private property for any special occasion.

We are excited to welcome you to our new(ish) page. Despite Peninsula Nomads being all about offline, outdoor, and unique GLAMPING experiences, it's time to share local Peninsula Nomads events via Facebook again.

With our 'original' accounts being hacked last year, we feel like it has proven that OFFLINE experiences are a huge element in creating a healthy mental balance in our day-to-day lives.

Thank you for joining us in this community.
