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.

Famous quotes containing the words nature and/or reserve:
“Since we are assured that the all-wise Creator has observed the most exact proportions of number, weight and measure in the make of all things, the most likely way therefore to get any insight into the nature of those parts of the Creation which come within our observation must in all reason be to number, weigh and measure.”
—Stephen Hales (1677–1761)
“Mutual repect implies discretion and reserve even in love itself; it means preserving as much liberty as possible to those whose life we share. We must distrust our instinct of intervention, for the desire to make one’s own will prevail is often disguised under the mask of solicitude.”
—Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)
