Picnics, and how our love of food has sustained us through lockdowns
By Bianca Hall
Across the eastern seaboard, picnics are the new dinner parties as eased COVID-19 restrictions allow small groups of people to gather outside.
In Melbourne and Sydney up to five adults can have picnics with their dependants if they are fully vaccinated.
It’s been a long, tough winter for millions of Australians subjected to extended stay-at-home rules, so as the warmer months approach we are taking full advantage of our newfound freedoms.
