Purling Brook Falls plunges 100m to a palm filled gorge, decorated with tree ferns and spear lilies. From the Best of All Lookout you can draw in the breathtaking views over northern New South Wales.

Enveloping the Springbrook Plateau, Springbrook National Park is a nature lover’s paradise with beautiful bushwalks ranging from 700m to a more substantial 17km hike, the most popular being the 4km Purlingbrook Falls circuit. Within the Natural Bridge section a unique rock arch over Cave Creek has formed by millions of years of flowing water. A 1km rainforest walk will take you to see the natural bridge where Cave Creek plunges through an eroded hole to a cavern below.

At night take the 3km trail through the rainforest to marvel at one of Australia’s largest glow worm colonies.
