Muogamarra Nature Reserve
Muogamarra (pronounced Moo-o-ga-marra) is a nature reserve New South Wales (Australia), on the northern edge of Sydney. It lies between the outer Sydney suburb of Cowan to the south, and the Hawkesbury River to the north. It is closed to the public for most of the year, but opens for 6 weekends each year in spring, when there are prolific displays of wildflowers. At other times of the year it is available to groups such as the scouts or to schools for education or special events.
During the weekends that the reserve is open to the public, volunteers provide guided walks around some of the most interesting trails.
The vegetation is mainly dry sclerophyll forest, dry sclerophyll shrubs on rocky areas, and mangroves along the river.

“That only needs a finger touch from God
To spring it like a deadfall and the fault
In nature would wipe out all human fault.”
