Purling Brook Falls

Springbrook National Park is home to a host of natural wonders, including Natural Bridge, Twin Falls, Goomoolahra Falls and Purling Brook Falls. Springbrook is just over 100 kilometres south of Brisbane and many of the waterfall lookouts are only a short distance from the car park, meaning you can easily check out several in one day. For one of the most dramatic waterfalls near Brisbane, we recommend heading to Purling Brook Falls. Take the four-kilometre circuit track down to the bottom of the gorge, stopping along the way to marvel at the stunning views of the falls from both above and below. Swimming at the falls is not recommended, but Warringa Pool is an extra six-kilometre trek if you are keen for a dip.
