Welcome from the Friends of Lane Cove National Park Inc.

We are a group of people enthusiastic about conservation in our local National Park in suburban Sydney, Australia. Friends of Lane Cove National Park Inc. don't have to live locally. Visitors come from all over Sydney, interstate and overseas to enjoy the peaceful surroundings beside the Lane Cove River. Anyone interested in protecting our native bushland or helping the Lane Cove National Park in other ways can become a Friend.

Baker's Cottage
William and Jane Baker developed an orchard along the eastern bank of the Lane Cove River in 1853. Their stone cottage probably dates from about 1865. Baker's Cottage is the only dwelling in the Ku-ring-gai municipality which has had no structural change for one hundred and forty years. The Lane Cove National Park used it as a store from 1938 until 1998, and it has been vacant since then. It has been referred to as "Baker's Cottage" since the nineteen eighties. Now, in October 2009, it has been restored.
