Royal National Park



After leaving from my dorm at 8 am, I arrived at the Royal National Park with other students on the abroad program around 9:15-9:30 and took a canoe down the Hacking River encountering a little wildlife along the way, including a bunch of cockatiels and a sighting of a 4 foot fish swimming by my canoe that could have
easily been from the tv show River Monsters

In addition to canoeing, I also got to throw around a boomerang in the park before setting off on a hike and shooting pictures of some amazing views. The hiking trail had an almost Cape Cod feel with the combination of sand and low lying shrubs before reaching cliffs of sandstone. The group then continued on into the forest of palms and other native Australian trees and led to a waterfall deeper inland.
