Lady Carrington Drive, Hiking and cycling trail in Royal National Park, Australia.
The 10-kilometer path follows the Hacking River through dense woodland, crossing 15 creeks marked with Aboriginal names along its route.
Constructed between 1880 and 1883, this route opened in 1886 as the initial scenic pathway within Royal National Park under Governor Charles Carrington's administration.
Each water crossing along the trail maintains its original Aboriginal name, preserving the indigenous heritage of this New South Wales region.
The grade 2 trail requires no prior experience and includes three designated rest areas with facilities between Audley Weir and Sir Bertram Stevens Drive.
Jersey Spring features sandstone watering troughs from 1892, which provided refreshment for travelers during the early years of the path.
