We'll begin at the visitor centre and walk to Peats Crater. From there we'll continue on to Peats Bight along an historic road that was constructed by bonded convicts.

On this walk you'll discover fascinating geological features in the landscape around you. Your guide will point out picturesque Hawkesbury sandstone and impressive volcanic pipes filled with solidified magma. Keep an eye out for historic relics, such as Peats Bight Guest House, early wharves and retaining walls.

You'll also walk through lush rainforest and mangrove environments. Once we reach Peats Bight, you can relax and enjoy the views along Berowra Creek and the Hawkesbury River. You'll begin to appreciate the preservation of the area and understand why it was listed as a sanctuary in 1935.

Muogamarra Nature Reserve is open for just 6 weekends a year to preserve its fragile ecosystems and Aboriginal heritage.

Bring drinking water, morning tea and lunch. Wear sunscreen, insect repellent, sturdy walking shoes, hat and consider bringing walking poles if needed.

The 2025 Muogamarra merchandise design features a beautiful waratah flower. The design will be available as a magnet, tea towel or tote bag. This year you can pre-purchase items online when booking your ticket so that you don't miss out.
