For a whimsical experience, visit the Fairy Garden in Broadmeadow, Newcastle. This enchanted grotto created by a neighbour, the late Merv Moyle features trees, winding paths, lots of plants and many figurines. It’s a lovely little spot to take young kids.
It was created back in the 1970s when Merv started to transform overgrown public land into an area where his kids could play. It’s clear that magical spot was a labour of love.
It feels like an enchanted grotto with trees, winding paths, lots of plants and many figurines.
Have fun seeing how many of the Fairy Queen fairies you can spot. Painted all different colours and scattered throughout the garden, we counted over 30!
You can also spot frogs, gorillas, gnomes, The Seven Dwarves and more!
As you explore, remember to look up and discover the surprises hiding in the branches above.
The seating areas are the perfect spot for a picnic or tea party.
The fairy mailbox is no longer operational, however, little ones can now bring along a ribbon to make a wish and tie on the ‘Wishing Tree’.
