National Trust Norman Lindsay Gallery

In 1912 Norman Lindsay's associate purchased a 42 acre bush block at Faulconbridge. Over the years they transformed the estate adding classical colonnades and a Roman courtyard to the house and embellishing the grounds with fountains, a bush swimming pool and sculptures of nymphs, satyrs and sirens.

Springwood, as the property became known, was where the creative and controversial Norman Lindsay, (1879-1969) created etchings, oils, watercolours, pen drawings and novels for which he became famous. And it was here that he created the much loved Australian children's classic, The Magic Pudding. Writers, painters and many notables visited Springwood, drawn by Lindsay's creativity, and the unique atmosphere of the house and grounds.

Now a museum housing a major collection of Lindsay's art, the main house, painting studio, etching studio and gardens are all open on view. The Gallery and Gardens are open from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. for your inspection and enjoyment.
