👍👍 Really nice nature walk, was greeted by some friendly kookaburras. I got a little bit lost trying to find the entrance from the car park but eventually made it there. Took some beautiful photos from the first small bridge to the right.

Point Loop Muogamarra Reserve

👍👍 We found this place when we googled a nature reserve and fortunately it was open. To my understanding this place is open only 6 weeks of the year. It is managed by volunteers and they explain why it’s so important to take care of this place. There’s so much to see including native flowers and trees....

👍👍 Today I went on a walk to this reserve, I sat as my thoughts pondered through my active mind (as seen in photo 2). Why me? I asked, why am i so lucky to have this beautiful environment as my home. Because i'm rich.

👍👍 Beautiful and quiet walk, surrounded by an abundance of trees and wildlife. You will cross a few small streams of water, and the ground does remain soggy most of the year, so don't wear your good shoes. Dogs allowed on leash. It's a easy walk, but thoroughly enjoyable.

Agnes Banks Nature Reserve

👍 Very peaceful walk and mostly easy going terrain. The paths are all pretty flat and in mostly good condition. There are sign posts at each junction as well to help get an idea where you are. It's very sandy in parts so it almost feels like a coastal walk with the soft sand track. When I was there t...

👍👍 This was a fantastic experience. The walks were great, so many wildflowers, and spectacular views over the Hawkesbury. They only open the park for a few weekends a year to protect some amazing history and biodiversity. Do yourself a favour and book a ticket next time they open. We walked to Deerubbi...

👍👍 Picturesque waterfall on Ironbark Creek. Short, 10 minute, easy walk from Ironbark Road with a bit of a scramble towards the end. (NB. Path is sign posted "Ironbark Creek Reserve", is about 1km down Ironbark Road from the Wiseman's Ferry Road intersection and there is no designated parking). The res...
