By Vivienne Pearson

Who doesn’t love a picnic? Okay, there can be some downsides: tramping for kilometres to fi nd the perfect spot, realising at the last moment that your picnic blanket is a little worse for wear, and preparing and packing all the food. Let me start again. Who doesn’t love a picnic where someone else fi nds the perfect spot, provides a comfy blanket and cushions, and delivers a hamper packed full of delicious food? Byron Bay Boutique Picnics has recently re-launched, after a hiatus of a year. Suff olk Park local Nicole Greenwood is not only an excellent cook and owns a superb range of picnic accessories; she is a lover of picnics. ‘The whole idea came from when I lived in the French Alps,’ Nicole says of her business that initially launched three years ago. ‘In the summertime, everyone would simply pack a basket, go for a hike, then set up to picnic by a lake.’ When she returned, she realised the Byron area had just as many beautiful spots and views but there simply wasn’t the same culture of picnicking. Nicole cooks most of her picnic food from scratch and sources anything else locally. Her Hungarian heritage is not front-and-centre in her menus but does infl uence some of her dips. Nicole aims for her picnics to be elegant and simple. The favourite location for picnickers is Wategos beach, especially in the leadup to sunset. ‘The hinterland is also a great option,’ says Nicole, explaining that she is able to Monkey, Monkey Shake Shake, Knox & Aya Ice-cream and fun at this weekends Ice-cream for breakfast fundraiser at Yum Yum Cafe. arrange not-usually accessible locations.
