About

Waterfall Flat picnic area could be your first port of call on a day trip to Royal National Park. Near Waterfall, it's also a great spot for getting the bikes out ready for a cycle tour, or a perfect spot to pull in for a bush picnic, just off Princes Highway.

Unpack a picnic on the tables and enjoy a quick bite with bushland views. The large grassy areas are an ideal spot for the kids to have a run around on a quick pit stop before exploring the park.

Keep your eyes peeled for birds and other wildlife as the surrounding heath attracts nectar-loving birds such as the lewins honeyeater and wattlebirds. For a nearby walk to enjoy more of the park, check out Couranga walking track or Forest path.
