Muogamarra Nature Reserve

Book in advance to join a guided tour and discover the secrets of this special place from volunteer guides. You'll get the chance to see Aboriginal rock engravings and unique views over the Hawkesbury River.

If you'd prefer to take things at your own pace, simply pack a picnic and a pair of binoculars to take in the spectacular views on a pre-booked self-guided walk. This is only available on select Saturdays and Sundays during the open season.

You need to pre-book and pay for guided and self-guided tours online, as numbers are limited and places can fill up quickly.

In spring, the reserve transforms into a brilliant display of colour when wildflowers come into bloom. You'll see waratahs, majestic angophoras, old-man banksias, pink boronias and delicate native orchids. The reserve is home to many native animals like echidnas, and birdwatchers might glimpse a soaring wedge-tail eagle or an iconic lyrebird.
