Springbrook National Park
A World Heritage-listed rainforest plateau park known for waterfalls (Purling Brook Falls, Twin Falls), the Natural Bridge rock arch and glow worm cave, and sweeping lookouts back toward the Gold Coast coastline and hinterland. It's split across a few distinct sections, so it's worth picking a focus rather than trying to see everything in one visit.
The Natural Bridge glow worm walk is best done at dusk or after dark to actually see the glow worms, which makes it a slightly different logistics exercise than the daytime waterfall walks elsewhere in the park.
