Where do you take your partner when you live in a bit of a boring suburb with not so great transport and your house is off-limits because your parents are home?

Please don't say the car 😂 my car got a bit of water in it when it rained because of the sunroof guttering being full and it smells putrid in there

Picnic!

Yarra bend park has nice spots. Studley park boathouse, Bellbird picnic area (has a loo, also nice park area just a walk away on the corner of Redmond and Wills st). Kew billabong... Took all my exes to those places and always had a nice time. Lotta private places if you look hard enough nudge nudge wink wink say no more.

Thank you!

I remember my dad went to Yarra Flats instead of Yarra Bend and got followed home by someone looking for questionable activities. Yarra Bend definitely is one of those places too though haha

Park with bushes, movie theatre (a movie that isn't popular = empty theatre), hotel/motel.

Mondays at a derro pub with pokies. It's quiet, and everyone is sitting at the machines so the dining area/beer garden tends to be empty

Motel, hotel or b n b. During the day you could go bush and find a secluded spot. Bring a picnic blanket.
