USEFUL LINKS: SPOTLIGHT SUBURB Norman Lindsay SPRINGWOOD Gallery In 1815, Governor Lachlan Macquarie and his wife stopped by what Bunker Cafe Macquarie called a spring. The place was later named Springwood: \"Spring\" from the springs in the area, and \"wood\" from the local Springwood Golf Mountain Blue Gums. As a town developed, the main street was named Club Macquarie Road, after Governor Macquarie. Visit NSW - Springwood is the second largest town in the blue mountains with a Springwood bustling shopping strip and lively cafe culture. Once home to controversial artist Norman Lindsay and Sir Henry Parkes who was a dominant political figure in Australia during the second half of the 19th century, Springwood has a rich history mixed with all the modern conveniences a town could wish for. Located 72km west of the Sydney CBD Springwood offers excellent transport links to Penrith and the city via the Great Western Highway, M4 Motorway and Intercity trains on the Blue Mountains line.
