The Royal National Park is full of amazing landscapes and landforms. The coastal cliffs are particularly stunning. Watch the video for some highlights. Can you identify any landscapes or landforms in the video?
Wattamolla
Wattamolla is a beautiful place. It sits in Dharawal Country. The Dharawal are the traditional custodians of Wattamolla in the Royal National Park. There is evidence of Aboriginal use of Wattamolla and nearby sites that goes back many thousands of years, such as rock shelters, middens, rock engravings and tool fragments.
