Cattai National Park
Picnic and paddle among mobs of kangaroos at this Hawkesbury River retreat.
Popular with day-trippers and campers alike, this family-friendly riverside park on the fringes of Sydney makes an easy escape from the city for a few hours or an entire weekend. Wildlife watchers should keep an eye out for kangaroos and birds, while history buffs can explore the colonial history of New South Wales at the Cattai Homestead, built by First Fleet settlers in the 1820s. The calm currents of the Hawkesbury River invite a leisurely kayak or canoe paddle, while shelters and grassy lawns make it the perfect picnic spot. Campers can stay overnight at the park’s only campground, Cattai Campground.
