Hidden between the well-known areas of Springbrook, Beechmont and Binna Burra Plateau along with the world heritage listed Lamington National Park, exists the localities of Numinbah Valley and Natural Bridge. These parts may be found when taking a scenic circuit, that starts off at Nerang and leads south on Route 97- The Nerang-Murwilliumbah Road.

Journeying through tall eucalyptus forests, bordering the shores of the Hinze Dam, guide you into the Numinbah Valley. Here nestled in lunch pastures between the mountains of Springbrook and Beechmont, beverages and a colorful gemstone exhibit can be encountered at the Valley View Caf. Driving a little further south, Numinbah Valley features horse riding adventures for all functionality where riders are able to stroll along crystal creeks or to mountain lava caves. Yet again heading south through the bank of the volcanic caldera, lunch at the natural Arch Caf Restaurant features another wonder: the biggest and yummiest hamburgers you’re ever probably going to eat!!

Another kilometer south, from the Natural Arch Caf, and you enter into the forgotten world of the Natural Bridge National Park. It’s a simple stroll through the park which will leave you awestruck by the impressive rainforest giants, wildlife and an unspoiled waterfall plunging through the geological sensation known as the “Natural Bridge”.

After dark the glow-worms in the cave dazzle like the stars of the Milky Way. When you exit the Natural Bridge National Park and head 3 Kilometres south you’ll come to the Queensland/New South Wales border where you will view the extinct volcano of Mount Warning, it is encircling volcanic caldera, green valleys and crowding cliffs. Then you gradually descend down the flourishing and peaceful farmlands to the village of Chillingham, town of Murwillumbah and get back onto the Pacific Highway for your return trip.

Springbrook, surrounded by forest and National Park is famous for its Purlington Falls, English gardens, beautiful pristine rainforest, abundant wild life, numerous excellent lookouts and magic waterfalls. Springbrook Plateau is a remnant of the northern side of a one time huge volcano that was centered on Mt Warning. On the highest parts of Springbrook, stands of ancient Antarctic Beech trees survive. These trees may be more than 2000 years old and suggest the temperature here was once much cooler.

From Mudgeeraba appreciate a scenic 25 kilometre drive along Springbrook Road to Springbrook. At 900 metres over sea level Springbrook can be very cool, even in summer. The area is a haven for beautiful and extraordinary birds and rare Australian wildlife. There are quite a few forest tracks and natures wonders to enjoy, although you are going to need to take some strong and comfortable shoes as there are more than 160 kilometres of graded walking track to cover if you want to see everything!
