Springbrook National Park

Springbrook National Park is a protected rainforest reserve in the Gold Coast hinterland of Queensland, about 40 kilometres inland from Surfers Paradise. Part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area, it is notable for its ancient Antarctic beech forests, dramatic cliffs, waterfalls and the Natural Bridge rock arch. The park is divided into four sections and offers extensive walking tracks, lookouts and picnic areas amid subtropical rainforest.

Visitors can expect subtropical and temperate rainforest plateau with dramatic escarpments, waterfalls, rock formations and lookouts over the Gold Coast and hinterland. The park is divided into Springbrook Plateau, Natural Bridge, Numinbah and Mount Cougal sections linked by walking tracks. Explore short walks to waterfalls and the Natural Bridge cave, longer bushwalks through ancient beech forest, cliff-top lookouts, picnic areas and opportunities for birdwatching, photography and glow worm viewing at Natural Bridge after dark.
