Springbrook National Park is part of the World Heritage-listed Gondwana Rainforests, housing some of the oldest rainforests in the world. Its highlight is Natural Bridge - a cave with waterfall and glow worms visible at night. Purling Brook Falls at 106m is the tallest waterfall in the park. Walking trails wind through misty forests with panoramic views to the coast as far as Surfers Paradise. The park is home to lyrebirds and rare tropical birds.
