Walkabout Creek Australia Day Picnic

Overview

Sometimes, it's easy to forget the holiday part of a national day off. Sure, you'll remember not to go to work — but will you really take advantage of the chance to go wherever you want?

Enter the humble picnic — or the day trip getaway that everyone can enjoy, complete with tasty bites to eat and scenic surroundings. On January 26, Walkabout Creek at D'Aguilar National Park is the ideal spot for relaxing, dining and soaking up the country's flora and fauna. Plus, you can order a hamper for two in advance, and feast on shredded lamb wraps, lamingtons and pavlova.
