"Introduce your children to Australia's oldest national park, and the second oldest in the world," says the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS).
"In 1879, the Royal National Park (RNP) was designated a protected space in recognition of its beauty and diversity.
"Covering 15,000 hectares, the RNP encompasses a diverse range of habitats and is home to an impressive array of flora and fauna, including the Gymea Lily which is endemic to the Sydney Basin.
"Dharawal people are the Traditional Custodians of the Land within the RNP, and continue their deep connection to Country by practising their culture to this day."
The holiday program includes:
