Lose yourself in over 2,000 metres of hedged passage at Bago Maze, Herons Creek.
Bago Maze sits within sub-tropical bushland and a maritime vineyard near Herons Creek, offering an immersive walk through one of the world’s largest hedge mazes with more than 2,000 metres of winding pathways. The site pairs landscaped gardens and lookout towers with a second, low Rush Maze built for racing, making it as much a place for deliberate wandering as for quick, competitive runs.

A second maze built for speed
The Rush Maze, constructed from native Lomandra rushes, has four entries and a low height so racers can see one another — it’s designed expressly for timed sprints with friends.
