Springbrook National Park is located in Queensland at the Border to New South Wales in Australia. The park is part of the so-called hinterland, i.e. the more mountainous part off the coast of the Gold Coast. The park is at a relatively high altitude, which at first glance doesn’t seem like it. Situated at an altitude of almost 1000 metres, the fauna and flora is very different from the lower areas. The park has a sub-tropical climate and a humid rainforest. There are many streams, rivers and waterfalls in the area. On this tour, I walked an approx. 14 km circular route from the plateau, down into the valley and then up again.
