Natural Bridge

Springbrook National Park

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.

Lovely first date and swim until we were covered in leaches. Lol.

Easy. Glow worms are cool. Too many tourists for my liking.

Great place to explore - rock hopping up the creek gets you away from the busy area for a peaceful break.

Very easy walk. Best early morning/mid week away from the crowds if you wish to get uninterrupted photos. Discrete climb over the fence under the rock area gives access to great shots.

Very scenic and peaceful, absolutely stunning and relaxing. Well worth the drive from Brisbane.
