What to expect
Our first stop gives us a feel for life in Bundeena. This small town located within the national park has an old style wharf in front of picturesque Horderns Beach.
Enjoy a walk through the Royal National Park and admire breathtaking cliff and ocean views. We will see The Balconies and the Waterrun as we head through coastal heathland to Wedding Cake Rock. There will be a number of short stops to discuss native plants (banksia, grass trees, gymea lilies and a few more). Once we arrive at Wedding Cake Rock we will take in the stunning view of majestic white sandstone against the blue Pacific Ocean.
Marley Beach
There is the option of going a little further beyond Wedding Cake Rock and enjoying one of the most delightful and underrated beaches in the Royal National Park, Marley Beach. This beach rarely has more than a few people on it and has a sweeping coastal heathland backdrop. Behind the beach are large sand dunes and a pristine natural lagoon.
Wattamolla is one of the most unique places in the Royal National Park. It has a large waterfall that drops for around 10 metres into a lagoon which then meanders to the beach. It is a beautiful place and one of the highlights of the trip. We also have the option of a short 15 minute walk. Your day your call on the walk!
Bald Hill provides a dramatic vantage point to appreciate the Illawarra Escarpment and the beaches to the south. We may also be treated to the aerial activities of paragliding and hang gliding as devotees launch themself off the hill.
An impressive cantilevered bridge with great curves built high above the ocean and a good distance from the nearby Coalcliff Rockface
Symbio Wildlife Park has a koala presentation and a large number of kangaroos and wallabies The park also has echidnas, dingoes, wombats, emus, a cassowary and Tasmanian devils along with a range of Australian birdlife, including the beautiful Gouldian Finch. Two wedge tailed eagles have a complete enclosure to the themselves whilst there are several interesting non native animals including meerkats, tamarin and marmoset monkeys, red pandas and two cheetahs.
The Imperial at Clifton
At the end of the day we have the option of stopping for a coffee or cold drink at the wonderfully restored Imperial at Clifton Hotel. This historic hotel was in decay until a local club bought it and did a first class renovation. Our guests love visiting this place, with its many original features, including numerous original fireplaces, timber windows and architraves.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
