Join Heritage Ventures for a marvellous two-day kayak, overnight camping in Marramarra Creek. Our journey begins at Mooney Mooney, paddling into the tidal reaches of the Hawkesbury River (Dyarubbin). We pass the wreck of HMAS Parramatta and Milson Island, once a boys’ reformatory. Stopping at Bar Island, explore a significant Aboriginal and European heritage site before paddling into calm waters of Marramarra Creek.

The waterway narrows into sheltered bushland alive with birdlife, leading to our campground among old orchard remains. On our return trip we stop at hidden locations to delve into the history of this important waterway and surrounding bushland.

This overnight tour involves paddling on creeks and the Hawkesbury River with overnight camping in a bush location. A moderate level of fitness is required and some kayaking experience is preferred. Distance 13.5km each way.

Led by two guides – an outdoor specialist and an historian. All Kayaks, safety gear, meals and camping equipment provided.
