Royal National Park
-
Proclaimed in 1879, this is Australia’s oldest national park and the world’s second oldest. The 15,074-ha (37,248-acre) park is 32 km (19 miles) south of Sydney. Here you’ll find subtropical rainforests, deep valleys, cycle and walking trails, rugged ocean beaches, sandstone clifftops, heathlands, mangroves and inland lagoons. There are several picnic- and campgrounds, and if you’re lucky you could spy a swamp wallaby, a satin bowerbird, a pied oystercatcher or the endangered tiger quoll. A tram from Loftus Station connects with the visitors centre on Sundays and public holidays.
