Royal National Park

Today I've been with three friends to Royal National Park, an hour's drive south of Sydney. Proclaimed in 1879, it is in fact the second oldest national park in the world (after Yellowstone, USA).

It was beautiful to get away from the big city into nature, and I was glad for this opportunity. Equipped with bottles of water in our backpacks, a lunch packet, hats and sunscreen, we made a scenic walk along the coast. We started from Garie Beach (which can be reached by car) to Burning Palms, and the same way back, and were practically the only people on that way.
