Located just ten kilometres from the Sydney CBD, Lane Cove National Park sits on the banks of Lane Cove river, which flows directly into Sydney Harbour. Nature escapes were made for locations like Lane Cove, which features camping, caravan and campervan facilities onsite amid rolling wooded valleys. One of Sydney’s best kept bushland secrets, Lane Cove boasts a variety of walking trails. You’ll also love watching the local wildlife - from native kookaburras to vibrant lorikeets.
Escape the hustle and bustle of Sydney and immerse yourself in nature with a trip to Georges River National Park. Located in the city of Sydney, just 25 km south-west of the CBD, this local national park is famed for its vibrant flora and fauna and popular swimming spots like Revesby Beach. Covering approximately 5.2km of the lush bush, you’ll discover ancient sandstone cliffs, diverse vegetation and abundant wildlife in Georges River. Pack a picnic and make it your next weekend excursion with friends and loved ones!
Although running shoes are practical, if you are going to spend more than a day or so in a nature park we recommend wearing hiking boots. These shoes are made for the elements and offer more support in tougher terrains - whether you’re boating on a river or observing wildlife at close range. They’re also usually waterproof! Always pack your sunscreen, sunnies and a hat to stay sun safe.
Amazed’s range of nature park experiences make the perfect gift idea for someone who loves to explore the great outdoors and is in need of a well-deserved break from the hustle and bustle of the city.
