Why it's worth checking out
Gauntlet of Magpies sits in Chermside, a major hub in Brisbane's northern suburbs. With 5 reviews behind its 4.2 rating, it's a well-loved local curiosity.
The appeal is a fun, tongue-in-cheek bit of local character — a spot whose cheeky name pokes fun at the great Aussie experience of dodging swooping magpies in spring, a genuine local talking point for a smile while you're in the handy Chermside area. It's a lovely, free bit of local charm.
Outdoor spots and their surrounds change over time, and swooping season runs through spring, so take care and check current details if you're planning around something specific. Otherwise it's a lovely spot to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection and water.
