Sydney is surrounded by beautiful natural reserves that make for a great adventure in bushwalking. Located in the northern outskirts of Sydney, Muogamarra Nature Reserve is an extraordinary place to plan your day out. Open around spring time for just six weekends a year to preserve the fragile ecosystems and Aboriginal heritage of this outstanding nature reserve, the park transforms into a brilliant display of colour when the spring wildflowers come into bloom. Inside the park you shall come across flowers such as boronia, pink wax flowers and wattle blooms.

• Muogamarra Nature Reserve is open to the public from 9am to 4.30pm for six weekends around August and September each year. The reserve is closed to the public at other times to protect sensitive natural and cultural heritage values.

• A Discovery activity fee applies to all people who visit the reserve during the six annual open weekends.
• Guided walks are included in the price: $10 adults, $5 children, $25 family (2A/3C)

• The nearest train station to Muogamarra Nature Reserve is Cowan Station, on the Newcastle and Central Coast line.
