Strickland State Forest
Strickland State Forest on the Central Coast of NSW (an hour’s drive north of Sydney) is considered a unique ecotourism destination. It was the site of the first government forest nursery (1886-1890) and first national forestry training school (1920-1927). Strickland has extensive walking tracks through varying forest types, and picnic facilities including an all-weather shelter, picnic tables and toilets.
