Moorooduc Quarry Flora and Fauna Reserve

For visitors wanting to explore the Mt Eliza area and discover its unique biodiversity this 22 hectare reserve is a must see. Circuit walks, lookouts and the dramatic remains of a disused quarry make for rewarding and exciting exploration.

The old quarry operated between 1887 to 1927 provided stone and ballast used in the construction of nearby railway lines.

Spectacular views across the Moorooduc plains reward walkers who make it up the steep hillside from the playground and picnic area on Two Bays Rd.
