Maraylya
is a
suburb
of
Sydney
, in the state of
New South Wales
,
Australia
. Maraylya is located 43 kilometres (27 mi) north-west of the
Sydney central business district
in the
local government area
of
The Hills Shire
and the
City of Hawkesbury
. Maraylya is bounded in the north and the east by Cattai Creek. The western part of Maraylya is prone to flooding after heavy rains, particularly from run-off from the
Scheyville National Park
. The flood waters make their way to
Longneck Lagoon
, which eventually drains into the
Hawkesbury River
less than 2 km to the west. Maraylya consists mainly of small-acreage properties used as
hobby farms
and for keeping horses for recreational purposes. Scheyville National Park adjoins the southern border of Maraylya and is popular for horse trail rides for local residents. There is an arena in the area called the
Horseworld Sportsworld Equestrian Stadium
.
In July 2020, a small section of Maraylya in the south was carved out and formed the new suburb of
Gables
.
