16 Best Parks in Sydney | Condé Nast Traveler
"Sydney’s big, beautiful backyard, the Royal National Park stretches out south of the city beyond Cronulla Beach. Encompassing almost 40,000 acres (161 square kilometers), it’s about an hour’s drive from the CBD, making it a blissful destination for a day trip or longer adventure. Surfers, swimmers, bushwalkers, cyclists, and campers escape to the park, drawn by its beaches, rainforest, waterfalls, valleys, rocky cliffs, and coastal heathland. Established in 1879, ‘the Royal’ (or ‘Nasho’) is the world’s second-oldest national park and is heritage listed. Enjoy picnics, barbecues, hikes, mountain biking, or birdwatching on land, or go fishing or whale watching on water." - Sophie Davies
