19MAP (PART 15): SPRINGWOOD - MARTIN'S LOOKOUT -- SASSAFRAS GULLY - SASSAFRAS AVENUE - SPRINGWOOD38

1938 MAP (PART 15): SPRINGWOOD - MARTIN'S LOOKOUT -- SASSAFRAS GULLY - SASSAFRAS AVENUE - SPRINGWOOD

Here's another walk which takes you down into the valley of Glenbrook Creek and its tributaries. The people of Springwood are blessed in having many fine walks so close to town. In 1938, most walkers would have arrived by train, which is why the walk descriptions always commence at a railway station.

To make sense of the description, you may need to refer to the previous walks' information.

If you are considering doing this walk, don't begin without taking a modern map and information.

This Wild Walks information should be very helpful. here.

1938 MAP (PART 14): SPRINGWOOD - MARTIN'S LOOKOUT - PERCH PONDS - SPRINGWOOD GULLY

1938 MAP (PART 14): SPRINGWOOD - MARTIN'S LOOKOUT - PERCH PONDS - SPRINGWOOD GULLY

The name "Springwood Gully" is shown on this map but I can't find it using the Google search engine. I'm pretty sure it is the place we know today as "Magdala Gully".

Modern maps show many more place names than the 1938 one does, as well as more tracks. A modern guidebook such as Veechi Stuart's "Blue Mountains Best Bushwalks" will help you identify locations.

If you are searching for the route number on the map (14) it is at the bottom above the "k" of "Glenbrook".

Assuming that Magdala Gully and Springwood Gully are one and the same, the latter part of this account of a walk by the Mt Wilson Mt Irvine Bushwalking Group will tell you quite a bit about the place. here.
