Springbrook; Naturalbridge Glow-worms Cave
Over millions of years, water has created a most unusual geological feature: spectacular Natural Bridge. Here, water tumbles through the roof of a basalt cave, home to an amazing colony of glow-worms seen only after sunset. Lookouts and lush rainforest also grace this World Heritage-listed haven. This park is one of the most popular in Australia.
Take the short circuit walk to the natural arch over Cave Creek, and view the unique waterfall and cave. Enjoy a picnic and relax in cool rainforest. Join a nocturnal tour to see delicate glow-worms (remember a torch for the walk, but turn it off once in the cave). On summer nights, see luminous fungi and fireflies. During the day, hear the calls of paradise riflebirds, green catbirds and wompoo fruit-doves.
