Coastal Track (Royal National Park) with Russell

Highlights

• Swimming in the Figure of Eight pools.
• Delicious stir fry dinner
• Russell's favourite expression at the moment: "I love a bit of hot _____ action."
• Eagle Rock
• Jumping into the water at Wattamola
• Doing some leaping
• Getting photos of a beautiful falcon
• Pizza at the end of the hike
• Getting to the last ferry with literally seconds to spare (thanks to the waitress) 

Royal National Park

The Royal National Park always blows me away with its beauty and the jewel of the park, in my mind, is Wattamolla Lagoon.  The colour of the water is an amazing emerald green on a sunny day.
