Natural Bridge (KML)

A sealed circuit track takes you through the forest, across Cave Creek, and into the arched cave to witness the waterfall plunging from above. At night the cave is illuminated by thousands of glow-worms' tiny green lights. While glow-worms are visible year-round, their display is significantly reduced during the winter months. Interpretive signs along with the circuit highlight the park's special features. The hoop pines Araucaria cunninghamii that emerge through the thick greenery of the surrounding rainforest are living relics of the Jurassic Age—the age of the conifers—about 180 million years ago. These pines are 'living dinosaurs'—they are among the most primitive of conifers.

Super easy walk to this stunning hole!

Bit of a rainy day, but the dense trees provided shelter. Our 3 year old walked the whole way, took us about 45 min with short breaks to take in the views. A short and beautiful walk. Lots of water going over the falls and we saw some pademelons along the track and little bats flying about the cave. It's too bright during the day to see any glow worms

Amazing evening walk in the full moon 💙

Glow worms were everywhere in the cave and in sections of the soil 🪱. Also saw bioluminescent fungi and a group of orange eyed tree frogs calling prolifically 🐸🌳

I went on a rainy Saturday at around 11.30am so it was quite busy and only a couple of spare carparks. Because it was rainy the falls were very mighty. Some stairs along the way but mainly a pretty easy walk. circuit partly shut due to the weather so had to come back up the way I came down.

Definitely one of the most popular if not the most popular walk on the Gold Coast. Or at least the busiest, luckily the car park is huge even some bus spots. Every 200m there is almost some scenic to look at, if that by a wonderful old tree, the creek or the actual waterfall. Just got to get in early before the masses of people come.

A beautiful little walk, in both night and day. Easy walk so traveling to see the glow worms won't cause many issues in the darkness. Would recommend everyone see once.
