Natural Bridge & the Rain Forest
Located just 35 minutes scenic drive from Murwillumbah you’ll find the rock archway known as Natural Bridge. Behind the Bridge the mountain-fed waters of Cave Creek form a waterfall which plunges through the roof of a cave into a sparkling pool below, which then flows into the Nerang River and down the Numinbah Valley (one of the older visitors told me kids used to jump from the ceiling into the pool!!! its now protected) At night the forest and caves are alight with the largest glow-worm colony in Australia ~ a must-see for visitors and locals alike.Surrounding the creek is dense sub-tropical rainforest (somehow reminded me of all those Tarzan Films I saw in my youth).The trees are enormous and have lots of brilliant Stag Horns ( for the Pomms its a plant) growing high above out of human reach !
Towering cliff faces form the edge of Springbrook Plateau. Visitors come to see the rock formation, stroll along the rainforest paths, picnic in the surrounds or swim in the chilling waters of the cavern’s recesses.Its absolutely brilliant WE are SO lucky to witness these magical places !
