Springbrook National Park

Springbrook National Park is located about 100 km south of Brisbane and comprises four sections on and around the plateau; Springbrook section, which extends along the crest of the plateau, Mount Cougal section to the east and Natural Bridge and Numinbah sections to the west. Dominating the Gold Coast's western skyline, Springbrook's cool forests and mountain streams offer views of impressive landscapes, and walks among subtropical and temperate rainforest, open eucalypt forest and montane heath. Spectacular waterfalls, cascades and tumbling creeks are dominant features in this World Heritage-listed Gondwana Rainforests of Australia park. Springbrook National Park covers 6725 ha and is in four main sections—Springbrook plateau, Mount Cougal to the east and Natural Bridge and Numinbah to the west. The plateau has many lookouts with fabulous views while Mount Cougal offers an insight into the area's logging history. Visit Natural Bridge by day to see a unique waterfall or after dark to discover the park's amazing glow-worms or picnic on the shaded banks of the Nerang River at Forest Park picnic area.
