Martins Falls
Above Magdala Falls, the track crosses the creek for the first time. Then it climbs up and passes
under some overhangs. It then makes a sudden left hand turn, where a rougher track continues on
at that level. This is the Batman Track as it goes to Batman Crescent at Springwood. So make sure
you take the left hand turn and climb down steeply to cross a small side creek.
The walk back is pleasant going, the track passes through alternating sections of rainforest and drier
woodland. Look out for birds and fungi. As you approach Springwood, there are more side-tracks.
One, on your right, goes to Lawson Lookout and Raymond Road. Another turns off on the left and
crosses a wooden footbridge and goes to Picnic Point and Homedale Street. This is a shorter way
back to Sassafras Gully Road if you parked a car there. If going to the Station, continue up the main
track. The last part, through fairy Dell ends with a short but steep climb to the road behind the shops
of Springwood.
