Purlingbrook Falls

Purling Brook Falls is a horsetail waterfall on Purling Brook, situated within the central section of Springbrook National Park on Queensland's Gold Coast.

It drops a single plunge of 100–106 metres (328–348 ft) over plateau cliffs within the UNESCO World Heritage–listed Gondwana Rainforests. The falls are best experienced after heavy rainfall, when the cascade is at its most dramatic.

A popular 4-kilometre circuit walk descends from lookouts at the top of the falls to the base, passing through lush subtropical rainforest. The falls can also be viewed from dedicated lookout platforms without completing the full descent.
