PURLING BROOK FALLS

Public BBQ

A spectacular 190-metre waterfall in Springbrook National Park, viewable from lookouts on either side or from the suspension bridge at the base, which is the finest vantage point of the lot. The full circuit is about four kilometres return and takes around two hours, dropping through rainforest past little creeks of clear water before climbing back up the Nimmel Range - a genuinely stiff finish. The first lookout takes in the rhyolite cliffs, both dams, the Gold Coast and the ocean beyond. The track gets muddy and slippery after rain and runs along cliff edges in places, so sturdy footwear is essential and it is not a walk for young children. The weather turns fast up here: windproof and waterproof clothing, gloves included, is worth carrying.
