Established as a private sanctuary 90 years ago by J.D. Tipper, an early conservationist, Muogamarra has grown and become a Nature Reserve on the Hawkesbury River under the control of NSW National Parks and Wildlife.  

Visit: Muogamarra Nature Reserve in Cowan celebrates 90 years: a few insights into The Vision of John Duncan Tipper, Founder  

Being a Nature Reserve it is off-limits to the public except for a short season in Spring when guided access must be booked. 

This film was scripted by Dr Peter Mitchell OAM and produced by John Illingsworth to their usual standard and is intended to provide Chase Alive volunteers with background knowledge of the geology and landscape.  

Spoiler alert: information density is high and you will get best value by viewing it a couple of times!  

Enjoy, and get your booking in early.
