Natural Bridge

GPS Tracks

Natural Bridge (KML)

A sealed circuit track takes you through the forest, across Cave Creek, and into the arched cave to witness the waterfall plunging from above. At night the cave is illuminated by thousands of glow-worms' tiny green lights. While glow-worms are visible year-round, their display is significantly reduced during the winter months. Interpretive signs along with the circuit highlight the park's special features. The hoop pines Araucaria cunninghamii that emerge through the thick greenery of the surrounding rainforest are living relics of the Jurassic Age—the age of the conifers—about 180 million years ago. These pines are 'living dinosaurs'—they are among the most primitive of conifers.

Great walk, easy. paved all the way. Plenty of parking nearby. Not too far from the walks at springbrook

I love this walk, especially with my kids (6&4). It is an easy walk with lots to see and they always get excited about the waterfall. It has been interesting to see the falls after big rain and during the drought and watching how it changes. I must get here late one day to see the glow worms.

I recommend doing this at night. Take a torch (don’t shine it at the worms) and go for a wander - it’s beautiful.
Heaps of wildlife to see too (birds, snakes, frogs, the glow worms..)

A lovely short walk, saw a wallaby and a blue tongue lizard and heaps of scrub turkeys.

A little bit out of the way but I'm glad we ticked it off the list. Quick and easy.
Saw a sign saying that it will be closed from this weekend of the 8th of May until early June sometime.

Nice walk to be taken at least two times -- during the day to see the waterfall and during the night (preferably wet summer) to experience glow worms, fireflies and glowing mushrooms.

Easy little walk but well worth doing 👍🏻

Short easy walk all bitumen path. Went in the arvo and waited round for the glow worms to arc up. Insane numbers of people arrived starting at dusk for the same reason. Waited for the crowd to clear but they just kept coming! Enjoyed the glow worm cave eventually tho :) During the 29 mins or so it toll to drive back to the main road I counted 17 buses and 26 cars headed for the cave. Perhaps Xmas holiday wasn't the best time to meet glow worms :) (Saw them in rock over hangs near the start of the trail too - keep your torches pointed at your feet so you don't miss them!)

Amazing natural beauty. Definitely worth seeing. At night you can see the glow worms in the cave itself but please no torch lights or photos. You will disturb the bats and the glow worms that live there. Easily done on your way to or from another walk in the area

Probably takes 10 - 15 minutes without stopping. @teniille

Easy short walk to the Natural Bridge. Very pretty

Definitely recommend. Natural Bridge itself is magnificent, the rest of the walk was nothing to rave about. Take a friend.

Such a gorgeous stroll

I love Natural Bridge/Arch. Done this walk many times. Usually busy though.

Beautiful waterfall and nice popular walk. A great detour.

An easy sealed track. Busy even on a Monday morning, but the natural bridge is beautiful nonetheless. Worth a walk into the cave to see all the tiny bats flying.
