Today I checked out the Marramarra Creek camping ground. The camp ground is 'walk in' and very basic, the only facilities are picnic tables, fire pits and a long drop toilet. No campers or hikers to be seen today.
Years ago there used to be an orange grove on the creek flats where the camp ground is now situated. The orange trees persisted for many years after the farm was abandoned, National Parks have recently removed all of the fruit trees.
Smugglers Ridge as it's name would suggest, is reputed to have been secret route for smuggling contraband during colonial times. Marramarra Creek is navigable for small vessels from the Hawksbury River.
