National Parks and Reserves

Enjoy bushwalking amid the rugged beauty of the Australian bush at Heathcote National Park, in the south of Sydney, adjacent to Royal National Park. The park is known for magnificent native vegetation and wildlife, rocky outcrops, and hidden freshwater pools. Heathcote is a great place for mountain biking along Pipeline trail, and is within easy reach of Sydney and several train stations.

Seasoned bushwalkers will enjoy excellent walking tracks, as well as bush camping at Kingfisher Pool. The northern end of the park offers a short walk from Heathcote down to Mirang Pool picnic area. This park has limited facilities so it’s ideal for those who are comfortable with self-sufficient and relatively isolated walking and camping experiences.
