Finding the track

You can access Birdwood Gully/Madolin Glen track from Lucinda Ave, Boland Ave or Bednall Road, Springwood.

It is always recommended that two adults bushwalk with children. At the end of the walk, little legs might be very tired so one adult might fetch the car while the others wait. Take care with traffic along Bednall Road as cars may speed down the winding road.
