On this guided walk we'll take the track along Peats Ferry Road below Tippers lookout, which has beautiful scenic views. We'll follow the tessellated pavement, past a large Aboriginal rock engraving of a whale, then venture on to Lloyd Trig along a bush path.
The return loop follows a track down to the tessellated pavement before turning right onto Powerline track. We'll pass through a variety of vegetation and interesting rock formations, before climbing Holiday Pass.
Muogamarra Nature Reserve is home to many native animals like echidnas, and birdwatchers might glimpse a soaring wedge-tail eagle or an iconic lyrebird. During the spring wildflower season the reserve transforms with the vibrant colours of flowers in bloom.
This guided morning bushwalk is a rare opportunity to visit the area. It’s usually closed to the public to protect its fragile ecosystems.
Bring drinking water, lunch and snacks. Wear sunscreen, insect repellent, sturdy walking shoes, hat and consider bringing walking poles if needed.
