Sunday at Royal National Park

I went to the Royal National Park to search for Lyrebird and Satin Bowerbird. Much to my excitement, I saw both! Unfortunately I did not get a photo of the Lyrebird. An excuse to go back. The Royal National Park, established in 1879, is the second oldest national park in the world after Yellowstone in the USA. It is enormous so I focused my attentions on the lush Wattle Forest, a beautiful tranquil belt of forest along the Hacking River.
