Best national parks in Australia
Australia has more than five hundred national parks, declared by the states rather than the federal government, and the ones visitors actually reach cluster around the capitals and along the coast. The Blue Mountains and Royal are day trips from Sydney; the Great Ocean Road parks of Port Campbell and the Twelve Apostles are a long day from Melbourne; the Daintree side of the wet tropics, Barron Gorge and Green Island are sold out of Cairns; Nambung’s Pinnacles and Yanchep out of Perth.
