Who doesn’t love a picnic in Perth? With some of the prettiest scenery and locations to choose from, Perth people are truly spoiled for choice when it comes to picnic destinations. When you have a baby, however, the choices are quite so simple. There’s now so many things to think about – will the park have shaded areas? Are there change facilities? What about coffee close by? Suddenly, having a picnic isn’t quite so simple. Luckily, Perth Mums Group has put together a list of some of the most baby-friendly spots for a picnic in Perth.
