    We love bringing people here
    It’s such a lovely walk and the waterways are gorgeous
    And even better if you come and do the glow worms at the right time of year
    Our kids still enjoy it - even as teenagers
    Beautiful place and a lovely drive to get here too

    Beautiful rainforest with stunning flora. The trees are just breath-takingly beautiful, the pathway around the park makes for a very comfortable hike. Loved the waterfalls too. A beautiful place to visit to fill your lungs with clean air. Loved that the walk/hike is mostly in the shade.

    Came here as was in the area. The walk itself is short but the views more than make up for it. A must do if in the area. Wild wallabies can be seen on the drive up in some areas.

    Purling Brook Falls are just spectacular - There’s no two ways about it. I visited as part of a day trip down to Springbrook National Park starting with Natural Bridge & then over to Purling Brook. I had a hearty lunch at Springbrook Cafe (great burgers!) and then set off on the 4km Purling Brook Fall circuit heading clockwise. There’s about 265 steps heading down to the base if the falls through beautiful rainforest. Seeing the towering falls from the valley below is a real thrill. They are big and beautiful and easy to stare at with wonder. Some younguns were swimming at the base but I kept walking over the John Stacey suspension bridge (great views of Purling Brook from here!) and up the other side of the valley to the Eastern lookout. There weren’t many walkers heading up this part as some of the track was closed so you couldn’t circle back;most just walked back the way they came from the falls. I ended up at the Settlement Campground and followed the road back to the cafe where I parked. It rained during the walk too - which I always love as the rainforest loves rain, you can just feel the gratitude of the forest, trees & plants! 10/10

    Spectacular beginning of the Warrie circuit, an 18 km loop over the subtropical ecosystems in the Warrie-Springbrook Natl Park. The well-maintained trail to the water hole itself is just about a km. Unfortunately we didn;t know it's possible to dip, and did not bring the swimsuits. The plants, the views, the falls... it is so worth a visit.

    Marvel at these ancient standing sentinels along the track to Best of all Lookout. They are Antarctic Beech trees and it felt like the icy wind was coming off Antarctica so rug up.

    This was a great spot to stop for lunch, with lots of picnic tables spread through the area. Despite there being 4 full tables, we were able to get a lovely leafy private area all to ourselves.

    The walk to the falls is very short, with a lovely lookout over the falls. Ensure you keep going another 200m or so as there is a second lookout which is worth a look.

    Very clean with great facilities.

    Jan 2017 we went for a drive to Springbrook. My daughter & son came to visit me for 2 weeks. So I planned to bring them here and went to the various lookout. They love it!

    Allocate a day to yourself and get on top of the lookout by foot. Was a great experience that really energised me for the rest of the evening and made me fall asleep effortlessly!

    There a few hikes in the area which are a range of difficult levels. The picnic tables are cleanish but I’d bring something to clean them with. Lots of bush turkeys.
