Pack your favourite picnic basket, outdoors lovers! Wilder the Label is going to take you on a tour of some of the best picnic spots to bring your wicker picnic basket here in Australia. It’s time to roll out the picnic rug and grab your favourite brie, as we reveal our top spots for your transportable feast.
Canberra
Our top spot in Canberra is Commonwealth Park, featuring beautiful, landscaped parklands on the edge of Lake Burley Griffin. Enjoy the sculptures, hidden walks, and tranquil ponds of the area and then find a spot to lay down your wicker picnic basket, rug, and snacks. Visit Gibraltar Falls, about 45 minutes southwest for an extra treat. The beautiful running waterfall and picnic facilities here make it the perfect place to sit on your picnic rug and enjoy the view.
New South Wales
Set down your wicker picnic basket in Kirribilli’s Bradfield Park, under the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Get a great view of Sydney’s iconic locations including the Opera house and Sydney Harbour. Nearby Centennial Park is a beautiful, landscaped parkland that is the perfect place to unpack your insulated basket.
Northern Territory
The billabong at Berry Spring Nature Park sustains the flowers and native birdlife of these majestic wetlands. Roll out a giant picnic rug on the manicured lawns and enjoy the sandwiches from your insulated basket. You can even enjoy a barbeque picnic here!
Queensland
Queensland is famous for its beaches, so there’s many hidden gems for a secluded feast. We recommend plonking your wicker picnic basket down on Burleigh Heads or on Bribie Island. Roll out your giant picnic rug on the warm white sand for a beach feast with a sea view.
South Australia
South Australia’s Adelaide Botanic Gardens, known for its seasonal flora, is a beautiful location to visit when you’re in the area. In the Adelaide Hills, you can visit the Morialta Falls or Belair National Park for stunning natural beauty and a picnic with a view.
Tasmania
Close to Hobart, Cascade Gardens features beautiful tree lined gardens, walking tracks, and picnic tables. Nearby Caldew Park is family friendly, featuring slides, tunnels and play equipment for kids. Tasmania’s national parks Fernglade Reserve and Cataract Gorge about an hour from Launceston are second to none, as well! In the beauty of Tassie, you have plenty to choose from.
Victoria
Victoria’s most popular beaches include Brighton beach in Melbourne, Squeaky beach in Wilson’s Promontory, and Thompson’s beach in Cobram. These are all popular locations for picnic goers and road trippers, but they are so many more! In regional Victoria, Hanging Rock and the mighty Murray River are popular places to park your picnic basket, as well.
Western Australia
Kings Park and Botanic Garden in Perth, Western Australia offers a stunning view of the skyline and the Swan River. You can also fold out your large picnic blanket for a picnic at the Araluen Botanic Park to enjoy the greenery and flowers in a peaceful, quiet setting.
