The way to the strategist’s heart isn’t through their stomach but through a board game. Grab a gaggle of puzzles and games and indulge in an evening of cheeky competition by candlelight.

Whether or not astrology takes your fancy, you’ll find plenty of romance in stargazing. Grab a picnic rug or a cosy blanket and pull it out into your backyard, and keep an eye out for constellations, shooting stars, and planets.

5. Go bushwalking

Australia has no shortage of National Parks and, as a result, no shortage of bushwalks. Don your best walking shoes and hit the trails with your beloved in hand. Just don’t forget your water bottle! Bonus points if you find a spot with a secluded pool to swim in.

6. Give camping a whirl

A night spent under the stars is an easy (and affordable) getaway to enjoy with a special someone. All you’ll need is a tent (or a swag) and a sense of adventure.

7. Bowl up a storm

Why not hit the alley for an evening spent ten pin bowling with your Valentine. There’s nothing like a spot of friendly competition with your beloved to make for a memorable (and fun) night out.

8. Theme a movie night

Upgrade your typical movie night by giving it a theme and throw in a bite to eat to match. How does a rom-com with candlelit dinner sound? Or a cluster of Scorcese flicks with some heaped bowls of pasta?

9. Take a drive

Feel the wind in your hair with a drive up out through the hills and beyond, taking in new sights with your Valentine. Pack a picnic (or at least some snacks) and turn it into a day’s adventure.
