Welcome to the Friends of the Royal Website

Friends of the Royal ....... About our Park: Sydney’s National Heritage listed Royal National Park was established in 1879 making it the world’s second oldest national park. Along with unique heritage attractions, it also features many fascinating plants, birds and animals. Perfect for bushwalking, cycling, surfing, picnicking or whale watching this diverse park offers everything from beaches to rainforest. Located near Sutherland within an hour’s drive from both the Sydney CBD and Wollongong, the 16,000ha Royal National Park is like a big beautiful backyard. Whether you come for a morning jog or camping holiday, you’ll discover something new each time. Royal National Park is known for its diverse range of environments, more than most natural areas of its size in the southern hemisphere. This natural haven includes open ocean, sandstone cliffs, wetlands, grassy woodland, rainforests, coastal heathland and eucalypt forests.” Source: OEH
