More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step from the minivan into a humid breath of rainforest—the air smells of wet leaf litter and damp rock, and a stone-cut path disappears under a canopy of ferns. The day begins with a 1.2–1.5 km walk to the Natural Bridge, where ancient volcanic flows sculpted a curtain of basalt and a cavernous overhang that now shelters Arachnocampa glow worms.

Wildlife
History
The Natural Bridge and Springbrook plateau are the result of volcanic activity millions of years ago; European timber and dairy industries later shaped local settlements, while the Yugambeh people have longstanding cultural ties to the landscape.
Conservation
Glow worms are sensitive to light and disturbance—stay on paths, follow guide rules, and avoid flash photography. Supporting local galleries and producers helps fund conservation and park management.

Wear grippy shoes

No flash photography in the cave
Glow worms are sensitive to light; use low screens or no light to protect the display and follow guide instructions.
Bring a lightweight rain jacket
Coastal hinterland weather changes quickly—pack a compact shell even on warm days to stay comfortable.

Meeting is in the CBD and the vehicle leaves on schedule—plan for traffic and be at the meeting point 10 minutes early.
Sturdy walking shoes
Good traction and ankle support help on stairs and wet rainforest rock.
Light rain jacket
A compact shell keeps you dry during sudden showers common in the hinterland.
