February 3, 2013, Springbrook Park, QLD, Australia


Rain forest
Natural Bridge



I've been told that 70% of the “Gold Coast” is park land.  We spent today in Springbrook Park, a World Heritage rain forest with spectacular waterfalls, mountain streams and breathtaking views.  World Heritage status is confirmed by the UN’s UNISCO organization for unique geology plus outstanding conservation practices.  Because of the excessive rainfall of the past week, we saw lots of water coming over the falls.  Deep in the valley there is a very unique rock bridge and a plunging waterfall that is famous and spectacular.  At night, the underside of the rock bridge is illuminated by thousands of glow-worms tiny green lights.  We did not wait around to see the green lights but we heard about the “light show”.  Bradley was particularly thrilled with today’s events as he got to stay home and he did not have to entertain his in-laws.
