For me 2012 ended on a high note. I was enjoying the company of my extended family, we were happy & healthy, & I had just won what could literally be the sweetest tent on the planet. In 2012 I entered in roughly four photo competitions.  You’ve got to be in it to win it right? And of those four I somehow managed to win two of them.

The pretty watermelon tent that you see below was one of the prizes. It brings a whole new meaning to the word ‘glamping’, also know as glam camping. And while it would seriously have it’s place at any of the many music festivals, it also has a special place in our family travels.

I’m sure it will be a talking point at many of our campsites, an ice-breaker into forming new friendships, a sight for sore & weary eyes.

The picture below is my winning entrant, it was taken on a beach near Wedge Island in Western Australia. And if it wasn’t for my sister in-law yelling at me to grab my camera out, it would not have been captured & forever missed in my hundreds of images.

You can check out more of the Field Candy tents here, there are so many cool designs. And a big thanks to the team at Big 4 Bellarine Holiday Park for running the competition, we are over the moon with our win!!

So if your out & about in the great outdoors, & you just so happen to come across a big slice of juicy watermelon, make sure you come & say g’day.

* this is not a sponsored post, I’m just totally in love with this cool tent & thought you might be too.
