Spectacular waterfalls and cool ancient forests are in the beautiful World Heritage-listed Gondwana rainforest of Springbrook National Park.

On this beautiful circuit walk, in the Springbrook Plateau section of the park, we will walk in a clockwise direction.  We pass through the open eucalypt forest, before descending into the gorge to view the Purling Brook falls from below.

Then we descend onto the Warringa Pool track, which leads downstream from the base of the falls.  This is an opportunity for a swim, so bring your togs and towel.

On return to Purling Brook Falls we cross the suspension bridge and walk up a gentle climb through the forest which will bring us back to the beginning of the walk.

This is a gentle way to overcome the excesses of Christmas celebrations.
