Muogamarra Nature Reserve

Muogamarra Nature Reserve is an extraordinary place to view wildflowers in spring, just north of Sydney.

It opens just 6 weekends a year, preserving the fragile ecosystems and Aboriginal cultural heritage.

Visit Muogamarra in spring as 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.

To visit Muogamarra Nature Reserve, book in advance to join a guided tour and discover the secrets of this special place from our volunteer guides. You'll get the chance to see Aboriginal rock engravings and some wonderful views over the Hawkesbury River.

Please remember that you can only enter Muogamarra Nature Reserve if you have pre-booked a guided tour in advance.
