Natural Bridge (Falls)

Highlights

Discover the amazing Natural Bridge in Springbrook National Park, Queensland. This 1km loop walk is an easy trail that takes you through an ancient Gondwana rainforest to a stunning rock arch shaped by a waterfall. It’s like stepping back in time to the Jurassic Age!

As you wander, look for birds like green catbirds and paradise riflebirds or listen for the croak of the rare cascade tree frog. At night, the cave sparkles with glow-worms, making it feel magical. You might even spot fireflies or glowing fungi during summer evenings. It’s a short walk but filled with so much to see and discover!

Adult Supervision Recommended: The trail has steep sections and cliffs. Stay close to your adults to explore safely.

What You Need To know

Guidelines

  • Always do some research before heading out for your journey. Visit the parks website for up to date information on the current conditions. Ensure to check for any updates relating to any warnings that may be issued for the area, and check for the opening and closing times.
  • Always enjoy waterfalls from trails and marked viewing points. Do not climb over barriers as cliff edges and slippery surfaces may cause injury or death.
  • Only swim where permitted. Don’t jump from cliff edges into water bodies.
  • Swimming near or under waterfalls can be dangerous due to strong currents, submerged hidden rock ledges and other dangers. The force of a waterfall can be incredibly strong and unfortunately, many people have drowned. Follow warning signs and take caution.
  • Wear suitable footwear and ensure to bring a hat and sunscreen to protect yourself from the elements.
  • Plan ahead and ensure to take enough food and water for your journey.
  • Always stay on the marked tracks where possible. Never climb fences, they are there for your own safety.
  • Please consider the environment, take your rubbish with you or place in the bins provided. We want to ensure these beautiful places are still here for our future generations to enjoy.
  • Ensure to let a responsible adult know of your plans and report back into them once you have finished exploring for the day.
  • Leave nothing but footprints. Take nothing but memories.
