The Family Find

Get all the details below. Before we start be sure to follow along @thefamilyfind for more helpful travel info. We still can’t believe no one knows this hack, because it was absolutely bliss having the park completely to ourselves (ok, we shared it with a few gardeners and maintenance workers, but that’s it). Paranella Park doesn’t let drones fly during opening hours to protect visitor safety and privacy, however they do allow 1 drone in the park prior to public opening each day! How it works. You spend the day in the park, visit the night show and spend the night in the adjacent camping/ caravan park. The next morning at 7-7.30am you get access to the park to fly your drone, and as a conscience get to explore and wander through the park without anyone else around. We made sure to buy some fish food the afternoon before so the boys could feed the fish and turtles that morning. Make sure you touch base with the team in advance because once the 1 drone slot is taken that’s it for the day, and trust us - you don’t want to miss out! 📌 send this to your drone loving traveller and save for your next roadtrip!

Honestly, we also actively prioritise travel in our lives and sacrifice other things to make it happen! If you’re wanting to find hidden gems and family friendly adventures in Australia and overseas, be sure to follow along @thefamilyfind.

Wow, wow, wow! Could have sat here all day watching the water from the falls spill into the angry ocean! Be sure to follow along @thefamilyfind for more family adventure inspo. If you’re interested, you start this 8km walk in the Royal NP, only 30 minutes from Sydney! Parking will cost you $12 for the day (and definitely pay as rangers are about). Parking at Wattamulla beach, head right past the toilets and head onto the coast track. At the 4km mark you will find both Eagle Rock and Curracurrong Falls! Definitely start early and take water. It’s a stunning coastal track. Be sure to stop at Wattamulla beach for a swim before you head home! ENJOY x

Australia, you are amazing and we will never get sick of exploring the beauty here! Follow @thefamilyfind for more!

Hiking as a family isn’t the same as hiking solo or as a couple and that’s ok, but you do need to adjust. Hiking now isn’t about A to B, it’s about the snacks, stories, the simple things like looking at worms, counting steps and most definitely dance breaks. We learnt that if we don’t rush, make it challenging and fun for the boys, they often forget that they are hiking at all! Follow @thefamilyfind for more 🙂
