Rossmoyne 62 Report post Posted May 5, 2017 Having coffee today with a member of the forum who is new to Perth, and we talked about all the parks around that had good picnic and BBQ area. Where do you like to go, either in the metro area or within an hours drive of the city? A family fave for us is the picnic BBQ area in Toodyay by the river - or at Lake Leschenaultia near Mundaring. Share with us some places you go..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Warnbro 15 Report post Posted May 13, 2017 My personal favourite is in Shoalwater on Arcadia Drive. Not much good after 10am as the sea breeze gets pretty strong. We go there for breakfast at around 7.00am every other Sunday. Shoalwater Bay is teeming with Dolphin and Seals and this is the best time to see them. They are always there, but the flat water early in the morning allows you to pick them out easily. Another good spot is Wireless Hill in Booragoon. Great views of the city from a distance and usually pretty quiet. Point Resolution in Dalkeith is also a must. Overlooks both directions up and down the river towards Fremantle and Perth (you can see both at the same time). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wombat Girl 10 Report post Posted July 5, 2017 My husband has just released an app called Grill Seeker (on ththe App Store) which finds public BBQs across Australia. We've just started on Perth so there aren't many there yet (mainly around the Peel region) but it's a work-in-progress so please bear with us. Cheers 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
