Summer is here, the birds are chirping the sun is shining and the water is warm, Barry and his mates are sitting under the blissful shade of their 6x3m portable gazebo. Not camping but setup for the day at Bribe Island Queensland, the boys have just finished lunch and are sitting back enjoying a few cold ones with their gazebo parked next to one of the many tranquil tea tree lagoons. Although it is a beautiful day it is awfully gusty causing sand to blow furiously from one side. Not to worry though Robbie comes back from his car with a gazebo side wall and attaches it to the portable gazebo. Gazza looks over to Barry now under the protection of a gazebo side wall he remarks how there’s no better way to spend a day like today. After spending the day at Bribe Island Barry and the boys pack up their portable gazebo into their handy carry case.

The blokes start to make their way home to embark on the very short drive back to Brisbane. Just before they hit the pavement Barry, Gazza and their mates air up the tires of their 4WD’s with a 12 volt air compressor. Before making their separate ways Gazza mentions to the crew that the adventure of summer is something they wait for all year. But getting there is half the fun. With that in mind Barry pipes up and mentions maybe next time they go camping and thus maybe go somewhere further away like double island. Robbie mentions that he has a gazebo hub that two of them could sleep in.

It’s two weeks later and Barry, Gazza, Robbie and Josh are ready for their next adventure. The blokes are at Josh’s house packing their gear into his new MT1 camper trailer. Barry went out on Robbie’s recommendation and brought a gazebo hub to sleep in. Once they are setup camp for the night Barry will attach it to his massive 6x3m portable gazebo. The crew begin their journey towing Josh’s camper trailer through a true catalogue of the Australian landscape the rugged bush, beautiful mountain tops, scenic Australian beaches and even the red desert.

Robbie and Barry grab out their portable gazebos as they arrive at Harry’s Hut and decide to setup camp for a few nights. The boys unzip the carry cases that have been safely and securely storing their gazebos.

The sun begins to fade so the boys crack out their portable BBQ’s and begin to start cooking dinner. Harry’s Hut is a beautiful camping spot situated along the banks of the Upper Noosa River so one inherent downfall is it is a mosquito haven. Luckily Robbie came prepared, he goes diving into his gazebo carry case and grabs out a mosquito netting. Robbie tells the boys how what he has brought is in fact a gazebo mosquito netting. He explains to the crew that he went out and bought it specially because he knew what Harry’s Hut was like. It attaches to all four sides of the portable gazebo so the boys can sit inside the gazebo still enjoying the tranquil atmosphere and views of Harry’s Hut but without the pesky mosquitoes. Barry mentions how good a gazebo mosquito netting would be if he was camping with his young children.

The boys are awoken by the blistering sun, keen to not waste the day the crew get up and atom and start cooking breakfast under the shade of their portable gazebo. Due to the early time the sun is sitting quite low thus the roof of the gazebo isn’t really doing the trick in shading the men as they cook breakfast. Not to worry though one of the boys grabs out a gazebo side wall and attaches it to the side of the gazebo copping the harsh sun. The boys sit contently in the shade and enjoy their bacon and egg breakfast.

Now breakfast is done the blokes are ready for some fun. Robbie pumps up his SUP and hits the water. Barry and Gazza are not far behind carrying their two person kayak. Josh also pumps up his stand up paddle board and makes his way to the water. The boys have an absolute blast exploring the upper Noosa River. After a few hours of exploring the boys decide to stop for lunch. Barry and Gazza packed their portable gazebo into their kayak. Luckily, they had this foresight as its an absolute belter of a summer’s day. The boys open the carry case and start to setup the gazebo. Now being midday, the sun is sitting high in the sky, so the side wall isn’t necessary however as the crew have setup along the river Robbie thinks it would still be a good idea to setup the gazebo mosquito netting.

Barry, Gazza, Robbie and Josh make their way back to camp before the sun goes down. The boys proclaim what good are adventures without a place to kick those feet up afterwards. As they sit again under the protection of the gazebo mosquito netting eating their freshly cooked dinner. Josh thinks that their camping setup is good enough to make the neighbours jealous. Robbie chimes in and says the view from their portable gazebo is fit for a postcard. Gazza puts forth his unrelated two cents and says I think After enjoying an adventurous summers day it’s time to have a beer so boys drink up its beer o’çlock.

The next day the men wake up slightly less sprightful than the morning before, moseying out of bed the four of them setup the side wall for protection against the morning sun and slowly cook breakfast under the gazebo. After an adventurous few days of camping, it’s time for the blokes to go home. They begin to pack up their portable gazebos along with the side walls and also the mosquito netting into their carry cases and place them into Josh’s MT1 camper trailer and then start the journey home.
