Purling Brook Falls, Springbrook National Park

Purling Brook Falls, a 106-meter horsetail waterfall, is a highlight of Springbrook National Park's 4-kilometer circuit. The trail, best traversed clockwise, begins with a lookout offering panoramic views of the falls and surrounding rainforest. Descending into the gorge, visitors navigate 265 steps, passing Tanninaba Falls, before reaching the base of Purling Brook Falls. A suspension bridge provides a unique perspective of the waterfall. The return journey ascends through lush forest, leading back to the starting point. An optional 2-kilometer detour to Warringa Pool offers a serene spot for relaxation. Facilities include parking, picnic areas, and toilets. Swimming at the base of the falls is discouraged to preserve the natural habitat.
