Picnic on the Edge of a Cliff

Nothing beats picnicking in the great outdoors. Sitting on a blanket with a sumptuous spread under the warmth of the sun is one of life’s greatest joys. Though for an unforgettable al fresco dining experience with a little more excitement, how about picnicking on the edge of a rugged cliff face for uninterrupted scenic views that will take your breath away?

Based in Nowra, Outdoor Raw’s Cliffnic experiences elevate the humble picnic into an epic banquet you enjoy while suspended (safely!) over a vertiginous Shoalhaven cliffside.

What can I experience at a Cliffnic?

Designed for two, Outdoor Raw’s Cliffnics are perfect for an unforgettable date or day out with your bestie. Wearing a hard hat and full safety gear you will clamber down to a cosy rug-covered platform hanging over the side of a rocky ledge.

Once you’re settled into your scenic spot, a basket teeming with the finest local cheeses, preserves, charcuterie, and fruit will be carefully lowered down to you. With your legs swinging and the breeze in your hair, from your perch you’ll dig into an exhilarating feast complete with wine, beer, and unbeatable views.

To dial up the wow-factor there’s Cliffnic Plus experiences with hot food and more exotic locations, and even Premium Cliffnics that include all the elements you need for your party in the air like music and Polaroid photography.

Locations vary so your picnic vista could vary from a dramatic mountainscape to a beautiful beachside lookout.

What else does Outdoor Raw offer?

With a mission to help folks interact with nature and be inspired by open air adventures, Outdoor Raw are experts in all things rock climbing related. Just like the Cliffnics, their collection of unconventional outdoors experiences are perfect for the everyday thrill seeker.

If you fancy buckling up and traversing Shoalhaven’s rocky cliffsides, guided half or full day climbing sessions are available for groups of up to eight. For kids parties to let them release their inner wild-child, Outdoor Raw arranges extraordinary adventure parties packed with games and rock climbing too.

What else can I see and do around Nowra?

Shoalhaven’s main town Nowra is the gateway to the region. Found on the banks of the Shoalhaven River, Nowra occupies a resplendent bushland setting.

Continue your outdoor adventures at Bens Walk; a route that loops around gorges, grassy shores and forests with an epic rope bridge over the river. Kids will love meeting marmosets and watching lions feed at Shoalhaven Zoo and Adventure World, while grown-ups may like to venture to Cupitt’s Estate’s Sensory Bar for a wine tasting.
