For many years people travelled past this site looking for tranquility, the forest that is. The Forest of Tranquility is now known as The Australian Rainforest Sanctuary.
The Australian Rainforest Sanctuary is structurally a warm temperate rainforest which contains a great number of species normally found in subtropical rainforests.
The park is home to almost 200 species of rainforest flora and sanctuary to more than 126 species of native birds.
The Forest is located in a sheltered valley on an outcropping of Narrabeen shale. It is floristically significant as the southern limit of a great number of sub-tropical flora such as native guava.
And in terms of floral diversity it is considered to be the best surviving rainforest in the Newcastle–Wollongong region.
A special feature of the rainforest at the park is the large number of climbing vines which represent almost 25 per cent of the flora species. Palms such as the Bangalow Palm are also very common.
