Springbrook National Park

Another amazing adventure, this time the three girls and Ben took the hour drive to Spring Brook National Park. I figured there would be a lot of hiking, some great waterfalls and views, but I had no idea that it would be so HUGE! I assumed you would park and spend the entire day hiking, but this place is soo spread out you definitely need a car to drive from one destination to another. And I was warned that the drive would be scary, narrow and windy roads, but I still couldn't have mentally prepared especially after the physical party the night before.



 The natural bridge  is a naturally formed rock arch over Cave Creek. It was formed from a waterfall which came beneath the cave and dug a pothole on top until the two joined and created the arch. The cave is also home to glow worms which live inside the caves, but you have to visit at night to see them. (That'll be the next trip)



Next we headed to an amazing cliff. We climbed over the bar to walk out and really get a better view. Crazy Ben decided to lie down and peek over the edge, he claimed it was around 300 meters down. But boyyy was he wrong. I have no idea how high up we were, but im pretty sure I could not see the bottom and when we moved to the look out side, I was very glad to have not looked off the edge of the cliff.







The last stop was the Best of All Lookouts, we obviously had to check it out. It was a bit of a drive and difficult to find but once we got there we knew it was completely worth it.








Great Day and cant wait to go back!
