Picnic Spots
If you'd prefer to minimise the risk of sand in your food at picnics, you will find that the scenic parks in Eden have good facilities. There are tables and benches dotted around the port, beaches and roadsides.
Further afield, there are many dedicated picnic areas within the nearby National Parks and State Forests; some with gas/electric barbecues, but most where you will need to find your own wood before you can boil your billy. Please be aware of any fire restrictions that may be in force, and check with State Forests that wood can be used.
