Winding trails, gorgeous scenery and natural wonders. What’s NOT to love about a trip to visit the Natural Bridge, Gold Coast?
Natural Bridge Gold Coast… Where to?
The Natural Bridge can be found on Nerang-Murwillumbah Road in Springbrook.
The track that leads to the Natural Bridge is easily accessible from the car park (you’re looking at about a 1km walk from the car park to the attraction of relatively easy terrain).
What’s to see at the Natural Bridge itself?
You’re going to find an absolute treasure. This spectacular formation has been formed over millenia due to naturally occuring erosion from the nearby waterfalls. The eeire beauty inside is almost other-worldly.
On your journey to the structure keep your eyes peeled and your camera ready! Get the kids to check these critters off their list:
- Paradise Rifebirds
- Fruit Doves
- Cascade Tree Frog (a rare, threatened species that just loves it around here!)
- Koalas
- Sooty Owls
- Catbirds
- Tusked Frogs
- Luminous fungi and fireflies (particularly cool if you’re walking around at dusk)
This area is also home to the fabulous GLOW WORMS – one of the BEST natural attractions in the Gold Coast region.
