A national park is a park in use for conservation purposes. Often it is a reserve of natural, semi-natural, or developed land that a sovereign state declares or owns. Although individual nations designate their own national parks differently, there is a common idea: the conservation of 'wild nature' for posterity and as a symbol of national pride. An international organization, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and its World Commission on Protected Areas, has defined "National Park" as its Category II type of protected areas.
While this type of national park had been proposed previously, the United States established the first "public park or pleasuring-ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people", Yellowstone National Park, in 1872. Although Yellowstone was not officially termed a "national park" in its establishing law, it was always termed such in practice and is widely held to be the first and oldest national park in the world. The first area to use "national park" in its creation legislation was the US's Mackinac Island, in 1875. Australia's Royal National Park, established in 1879, was the world's third official national park. In 1895 ownership of Mackinac Island was transferred to the State of Michigan as a state park and national park status was consequently lost. As a result, Australia's Royal National Park is by some considerations the second oldest national park now in existence.
The Royal National Park, colloquially the Nasho or the Royal, is a protected national park that is located south of Sydney, New South Wales, in eastern Australia. The 15,091-hectare (37,290-acre) national park is situated approximately 29 kilometres (18 mi) south of the Sydney central business district near the localities of Loftus, Otford, and Waterfall.
Founded by Sir John Robertson, Acting Premier of New South Wales, and formally proclaimed on 26 April 1879, it is the world's oldest surviving purposed national park (pre-dating Yellowstone in the United States), and the first to use the term "national park" anywhere in the World. Its original name was National Park, but it was renamed in 1955 after Elizabeth II, Queen of Australia passed by in the train on the way from Wollongong during her 1954 tour. It is historical fact that the Royal is the oldest gazetted national park because Yellowstone's original gazetting was "public park or pleasuring ground".
The park was added to the Australian National Heritage List in December 2006.

A park is an area of natural, semi-natural, or planted space set aside for human enjoyment and recreation or for the protection of wildlife or natural habitats. It may consist of grassy areas, rocks, soil, and trees, but may also contain buildings and other artifacts such as monuments, fountains or playground structures. In North America, many parks have fields for playing sports such as soccer, baseball and football, and paved areas for games such as basketball. Many parks have trails for walking, biking and other activities. Some parks are built adjacent to bodies of water or watercourses, and these parks may comprise a beach or boat dock area. Often, the smallest parks are in urban areas, where a park may take up only a city block or less. Urban parks often have benches for sitting and they may contain picnic tables and barbecue grills. Parks have differing rules regarding whether dogs can be brought into the park: some parks prohibit dogs; some parks allow them with restrictions (e.g., use of a leash); and some parks, which may be called "dog parks," permit dogs to run off-leash.

Royal National Park is a national park in New South Wales, Australia, starting 29 km south of Sydney CBD.It is known to many enthusiasts as simple the "Nasho" and is easily one of the best stretches of road around Sydney. Some general info: - Coming from Sydney, turn-off at Farnell Ave from Princes Hwy/Acacia Rd to enter the Nasho. Alternately, continue down Princes Hwy towards Waterfall and you'll eventually come to another turn-off which probably has more twisties. Continue on past Sea Cliff Bridge to head to Bulli and Wollongong or turn back and get on the Southern Fwy for a quick route back to Sydney. - Cops pretty much live here since "the incident" (google crazy carlo if you dont know what I'm talking about), which is a shame. There's a few long straights and I know its tempting ...
I've create 2 video's of a bush walk to the figure 8 pool's in the Royal National Park. I used GoPro templates for both to see what worked best for walks. This video used the GoPro Template, bring your own big wheel. Can't go wrong with this one. Makes all walks look good. My other video used the GoPro template, Alana and Monyca surfing. That's an ok template but bush walks don't look that great using that template. It can be compared at the following location https://youtu.be/bxQHeFbnTzw For a map of this walk you can check out my website http://trailmaze.com/bush-walks/nsw-bushwalks/sydney-south/figure-8-pools-royal-national-park/
I'll probably get some stick for going a bit fast and luckily I'm still alive to live and learn.

Ryan and some of his mates decided it was time to leave the suburban life for a night and get back to basics, spending a night in the Royal National park, surfing, banter and good vibes are all you need for a good time away.
