Royal National Park

This weekend was Australia's Labour Day weekend, so Rob and I decided to go on a little adventure trip and hike some of the trails at the Royal National Park. The park is the world's oldest national park (1879)-the second oldest is Yellowstone (1883).

We took a train from Redfern (suburb of Sydney) about an hour south to Cronulla and then took a ferry from Cronulla to Bundeena.

There are several ways to get to the Royal National Park, but we chose the little-known access point from Bundeena because Frommer's told us to. In fact, our enormous Frommer's guide says that Arthur Frommer actually lives in Bundeena. After seeing it I'm not really sure why, but to each his own.

We wandered through some small villages in Bundeena then reached the Royal National Park right where the "Coast Walk" started.

Which way do we go?????
