In a clip on her @lucyaura8 TikTok account, the mum explained: “I’ve been living as a single mother with my two children in a tent in Queensland for the last six months now.

“We first moved into this tent due to the current rental crisis but as we’ve continued on this journey we’ve realised how much we really love living in this way.

“We spend most of our time together and we are fully immersed in nature.

“Living in a tent saves me so much money.

“The campsite is cheap rent and includes all bills.”

Lucy gave her followers a tour of their tent, which was given to them from a guy who had moved into a cabin and didn’t need it anymore.

The mum said: “Super grateful.

“You can see that our tent is fully propped up on pallets.

“It has a dome over the top which makes it fully rain-proof unlike our last tent.

“Got a veranda.

“As you can see, we are all sleeping together. 

“We have a fridge so we are fully pimped now.

“We have a power, a workstation and just really love living the simple life.”

Lucy added they have a fire and a heater to keep them warm on chilly nights – and gushed that her kids were “happy and very loved.”

The children also attend the local school during the day and sleep at the campsite in the evenings.
