Australia: The Land Where Time Began

A biography of the Australian continent 

Royal National Park

Established in 1879, Royal National Park is the world's second oldest national park - after Yellowstone in the USA.

Only 32 km from Sydney, the Royal packs incredible natural diversity into a relatively small area. It offers riverside picnics, great surf beaches, clifftop heathland walks, rainforest cycle tracks, and much more.

• The rich forests along Lady Carrington Drive, a historic walking and cycling trail beside the Hacking River.
• Swimming at Wattamolla, on the beach or in the lagoon.
• The sense of Victorian park life you get at Audley, with its causeway, picnic lawns and rowboats.
• The Coast Track - two days and 26 kilometres of diverse environments and spectacular views.
