Description:
Pass through open eucalypt forest of New England ash Eucalyptus campanulata, where fire-adapted species such as lepidozamias, hakeas and various wildflowers grow, before descending into the gorge to view the falls from below. After crossing the suspension bridge a steady climb through forest brings the walker back to the picnic area. Water flowing over Purling Brook Falls is high quality because its catchment is protected in the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area. Located 46.6km (28.9 miles/48 min) from Village Roadshow Studios. The nearest airport is Gold Coast Airport, Coolangatta (OOL). The closest POH, Gold Coast City, is 36.3km (22.6 miles/46 min) away.
