Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer

The Royal National Park is a national park in New South Wales, Australia. It is located 29 km south of Sydney. Founded in 1879 by Sir John Robertson, it is the world’s second oldest purposed National Park, the first usage of the term “National Park” after Yellowstone in the United States. Its original name was The National Park, but it was renamed in 1955 after a visit by Queen Elizabeth II. There was once a railway line connected the Park to the City Rail but this has now closed. There are numerous walking trails and picnic sites throughout the park. There is a car park just within the Park to leave vehicles. One popular walk is the coast walk. There were big fires in 1994 that burnt large parts of the park. Now these areas are being rehabilitated. Audley is a large, flat area in one of the larger valleys in the park. A timber dance hall built in the early 20th century is available for tourists. Large picnic areas, grassy meadows, and cafeterias make the picnic more interesting. Eagle Rock — a unique rock formation, about half way down the length of the park on the coast. It is a large rock that look like an eagle’s head when viewed from the side. The other remarkable feature is the several waterfalls which tumble over the cliffs and into the sea over one hundred metres below. Wattamolla is one of the most popular coastal beaches in the park. Substantial parking and a canteen serving refreshments on summer weekends are also there. The park service is also very careful to protect these areas due to their general rarity in the hot, arid Australian landscape.
