Being a sucker for all things food and sightseeing and being a nature lover, a picnic hits all the right notes for me. Owing to the stunning climate and scenic locales, Sydney is truly a picnic-lover’s paradise. With an ample number of parks, reserves and lookout points scattered all over the city, options are a plenty- and here are our two favourites.

Wendy’s Secret Garden

While the name states secret, this might be Sydney’s worst kept secret- and boy, aren’t we lucky that’s the case! This quaint unassuming garden has a beautiful story to go along with its charming look. Pack a picnic and head on over, clear out a spot for yourself and just make a day of it. Stroll around the garden and take in the views of numerous artistic structures nestled cosy alongside vibrant multi-hued plants, trees and flowers.

A crowd favourite spot to squat for a picnic is closer to the imposing fig tree. Overlooking the picturesque harbour, this spot is a picnic paradise.So unpack your picnic basket and leave all your worries behind in Wendy’s Secret Garden.

Royal Botanical Garden

An escape from the stress of city life in the heart of Sydney! Surround yourself with the tranquility of nature’s greenest in Sydney’s favourite garden and picnic spot. With panoramic views of the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, choose a shaded spot under a tree for your picnic.
