FROM TRADITION TO MODERN CELEBRATION
Australia's picnic culture dates back to early colonial days when families would escape the confines of urban settlements to enjoy the vast natural landscapes. In the 1920s, beach picnics became especially popular as Australians embraced their coastal lifestyle and unique outdoor identity.
At Sunny Picnic, we've been reinventing this tradition since 2010, when founders Emma and Jack Thompson noticed how the traditional picnic was fading from Australian culture. They set out to revive this cherished pastime with vibrant colors, fresh local produce, and innovative picnic equipment designed for Australia's unique climate.
What started as a small local initiative in Sydney has grown into a nationwide movement celebrating Australia's outdoor culture. We've evolved from simple basket rentals to creating complete picnic experiences that honor our history while adding contemporary twists like specialty ice creams and artisan food pairings.
Today, we're proud to be recognized as pioneers in the modern Australian picnic scene, blending tradition with innovation to create unforgettable outdoor dining experiences.
