RE: Exploring the Royal National Park, NSW Australia - A Wandering Through the Wilderness
Enjoyed your photos and write up. I spent many a day at the Royal National Park from the early 70's to the mid 80's. Bushwalking, birding, snorkeling, swimming, jumping off the rock at Wattamolla, family picnics etc. Would love to go back there some day.
Hi there!
I bet it would have been a hugely different place during those times! Wattamolla felt as though there could have been a great deal more done to make the place easier to 'use'. Signs were limited and there were no tables to sit at. It was quite a bizarre experience considering it's so close to Sydney. You wouldn't see this kind of laziness in the States. In many ways, it's typical of the government to provide little funding for the upkeep and maintenance of natural places in NSW.
Thanks for your feedback. I'm glad you got something from the article.
Regards,
Nick
