I love picnics, especially family picnics. There are lots of wonderful locations in or near Adelaide for a picnic. Our favourite is at Belair National Park. This is a magnificant park in natural surroundings, full of native trees and shrubs, walking paths, etc. There is a spot that is especially good for children. It's an area where they have built a fort. Well, our children just love this fort, even my nearly 14 year old daughter. We go there about twice a year with friends who have 6 children. We always pick a spot under a large gum tree. We set up a table & chairs, and the adults start with coffee. Off the 9 kids go to play "war" games in this fort. It's really amusing watching them organise whop is on what side, then running around attacking each other (make believe). Then we have a nice lunch together. Sanwiches, rolls, cakes & fruit... anmd more coffee. As the kids play we watch the birds in the trees. Last time we went there were Rainbow Lorikeets. It always is a beautiful day. We are due for another picnic in April.

We have property so we can picnic anytime. When we camp one time a year at Swapper's Day we eat in the air every meal. We prefer the blanket and cooler. Cheese, sandwiches or fried chicken and fruit and bread and bottles of something to drink each. We end up dealing with pests except at Swapper's Day.

First off let me say GRATS prematurely on your 500. It'll happen tonight I'm sure. LOL. As I small child I recall a trip to NewYork State to Niagra Falls. We had a huge picnic at a park where we could see the falls. All I kept saying was I wanted to go down them like the men I saw on TV. Then on the way home the car broke down making us kids and mom ride the Greyhound bus home. Thats the short version. LOL
