I have a daughter studying over in Sydney, so I try to wrangle some working visits.
The original plan was to do a loop from Bundeena to Wattamolla and back - about 23 kms, but we were constrained by public transport.
It was a nice ride across on the ferry to Bundeena, but we wanted to get back in good time for the return trip, and the heat and our speed took a lot out of me.
I think on reflection, this was a great intro to Royal NP.
The variation from the cliff top walking to the great beach/dunes/lagoon at Big Marley and then the small falls at Deer Pond was delightful.
We got to see lots of birds, a few varieties of lizard, and quite a few flowers.
I do think that the rubbish in the park is a bit dissappointing though - but the constant flow of walkers is probably the reason why.

I am originally from the St George district in Sydney and the Royal National Park (or “Nasho” as I have known it since I was a kid and how I refer to the place) was just an hours bike ride, 30 minute train ride, or when I got a licence, a 25 minute drive away. The Nasho is where I had my first experiences of the bush and it is a very special place for me! I love it! Despite living in Queensland now and becoming very fond of Lamington NP, there is still no place like the Nasho!!

I must've missed this topic before.
No one has mentioned the fantastic wildflower display on the coastal heaths in the spring! I couldn't believe the abundance of colour on Curra Moors one spring. There was hardly space for the colour green.
Thanks for the pic guys.

Hi juju
I just make sure I upload my photos to my computer after each trip. I make a folder for the trip, then within that folder I have two nested folders, one each for the RAW and JPEG files. Then back up onto a portable hard disc...but I am sometimes a little complacent when it comes to backing up...
Cheers
Andrew
