Lady Carrington Drive to Palona Cave is a 5.1km, grade 4 Return hike located in Royal National Park New South Wales. The hike should take approximately 2 hrs to complete.
Summary
Following the historic Lady Carrington Drive much of the way this walk heads north until turning off the wide trail. Here the heads along a narrow track to a beautiful limestone cave. In typical sandstone country Palona Cave’s different geology makes it well worth the visit. There is a beautiful cascading waterfall just near the cave to add even more variety. Just a bit north of the turnoff this walk describes a side trip to an old picnic area a nice cool and shaded spot to rest.
