Best national parks for families in Australia

Australia's easiest parks with children are those with short walks and something to ride: the Scenic Railway and cableway in the Blue Mountains, ferries to the islands of Sydney Harbour, the drive loop through the Pinnacles at Nambung, the Dove Lake shuttle at Cradle Mountain. At Uluru the base walk can be shortened to the Mala or Kuniya sections. In the north, swim only where signs say it is safe, and carry more water than seems necessary.
