Springbrook National Park packs an astonishing mix of rainforest, waterfalls, and ancient geology into a compact stretch of the Gondwana highlands.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience and a truly wonderful time. The drive to this place is a bit adventurous, but it's well worth the effort. There are numerous scenic lookout points along the way, each offering breathtaking views. The trek to Twin Falls is an absolute must—an unforgettable highlight of the trip!

Springbrook National Park is absolutely breathtaking! The lush rainforest, stunning waterfalls like Purling Brook Falls, and incredible views from lookouts such as Best of All Lookout make it a must-visit. The walking tracks are well maintained and suit all fitness levels. It’s a peaceful escape into nature and perfect for a day trip. Highly recommend visiting if you're in Queensland!
