Getting there & away
From Sydney, take the Princes Hwy south and turn off south of Loftus to the park’s northern end – it’s about a 45-minute drive from the city. If you’re driving north from Wollongong, don’t miss the famous 665m sea-bridge section of Lawrence Hargrave Dr between Clifton and Coalcliff, dangling out over the cliffs.
The most scenic route into the park is to take the CityRail train (one way $5/3 adult/concession, one hour, half-hourly) to Cronulla and then jump aboard a Cronulla National Park Ferry (02-9523 2990; www.cronullaferries.com.au; Cronulla Wharf) to Bundeena (one-way $5/3 adult/concession, 30 minutes, hourly). Cronulla Wharf is off Tonkin St just below the train station. This outfit also runs Port Hacking Scenic Cruises (adult/child/family $18/13/50, 3hr cruise 10.30am Monday to Saturday, 10.30am & 2pm Sunday) through the summer, and some services in winter. Alternatively, Loftus, Engadine, Heathcote, Waterfall and Otford train stations are on the park boundary and have trails leading into the park. Loftus is closest to the visitor centre (6km).
