Garawarra State Conservation Area

A bushland and coastal reserve immediately south of Sydney, adjoining the Royal National Park — rugged cliffs, Australian bush, and ocean walks close to the city.

Garawarra State Conservation Area lies south of Sydney, directly adjoining the Royal National Park — together forming one of New South Wales' most significant natural spaces. The reserve encompasses classic Australian bushland, dramatic cliff-top coastline, and quiet walking tracks that lead all the way to the ocean. The Royal National Park itself was established in 1879 as Australia's first national park and the world's second, after Yellowstone. Garawarra complements this heritage as a buffer zone and reserve in its own right, offering visitors memorable coastal hikes away from the noise of the city.
