The Gruffalo returns to Illawarra Fly these school holidays

Embark on the self-led Gruffalo Spotters Trail available every day of the school holidays at Illawarra Fly, using the free Gruffalo Spotters 2 app.

Each character will come to life through Augmented Reality and visitors can explore the latest features of the app including video recording, interactivity with the characters and selfie mode.
