A great pick for those hoping to experience some of Australia’s primeval rain forest is Springbrook National Park in the Gold Coast hinterland. In addition to being a protected national park, the area is also part of a UNESCO heritage–listed area known as the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia. The rain forest here is so old that it predates the breakup of the super-continent known as Gondwana. Visitors to Springbrook National Park have much to look forward to, particularly waterfalls like Twin Falls and Rainbow Falls, as well as the waterfall and cave at the Natural Bridge. You can also get a sense of how all-encompassing this rain forest is from observation points above the treetops, like Best of All Lookout and Canyon Lookout.
