Fairy Dell walk, Springwood

This easy-medium grade 800m walk only takes about 30 mins to an hour and is like something out of a rainforest fairy tale with its fern floor. It winds its way down the Magdala Gully through a shaded ferny paradise before ascending up to the beautiful Lawson Lookout for a sensational view across the valley.

The kids will enjoy exploring along the way on this mostly ground level walk. They will even see a Bush Play Group den to check out and a little waterfall. Towards the end of the walk, it will ascend up large steps to Lawson Lookout.

IMPORTANT: Keep your children close to you and don’t let them race ahead as you ascend because there is one section near Lawson Lookout that is unfenced and could be a falling hazard for young children running free.

Finding the track

Start the Fairy Dell walk from Springwood Road, Springwood, where you will see the Fairy Dell sign. Walk down to the Fairy Dell Reserve Picnic area where you will see the start of the walk.

Even though this is a one-way track all the way up to Lawson Lookout (hold your child’s hand in this part of the walk), you can make it a circular track by returning to the town centre along Raymond Road, Springwood, back to Springwood Road.
