Springbrook National Park transports visitors into natural Australian, lush, green forests. Eucalyptus trees line the view along babbling mountain streams. Walking along the park, visitors can experience powerful stunning waterfalls jutting out of the rock formations. A short hike allows visitors to take in stunning views of the park, with mountains dotting the skyline. A night visit may result in finding the park’s mesmerising glow worms.

The park is large enough to merit a long day’s hike, so bring a picnic lunch and enjoy it on the banks of the Nerang River in their picnic area. For an extended stay, individuals can enjoy camping at the Settlement camping area, which includes a wi-fi hotspot. The park itself offers several hiking opportunities, from 300 m (984 ft) to 54 km (33.5 miles). Because much of the park is forested, you can enjoy a shaded and cool hike as a break from the Australian sunshine. You may even spot some native Australian wildlife along your hike.
