Information from National Parks: Hawkesbury sandstone is the most common geological feature found within Muogamarra Nature Reserve and forms the extensive plateau on which you’ll explore. Impressive volcanic pipes filled with solidified magma (a type of diatreme) can also be found at Peats Crater and Peats Bight. The volcanic rock from these diatremes house a striking deep red soil which is rich in nutrients and fantastic nourishment for the plants which grow here.
