I spent a single day exploring this park and have set out what I was able to see in a single day and have suggested a timeline for anyone who is planning a similar day trip. The park is approx 1 hour from the Gold Coast. I was visiting at the end of October and set out about 8 am in a southwards direction towards Neranwood. The temperature in the park when I arrived about 9am was between 3 and 5 degrees cooler than the coast, so it was no hotter than 25 even though it was 28 on the coast. My first stop was the 'best of all' look out at the far end of the eastern ‘branch’ of the park. There is a 300m easy walk on a paved surface to the lookout which is spectacular. You can see Byron Bay from here on a clear day. Drive back along Repeater Station Road and turn right onto Springbrook Road and drive to the end which brings you to a picnic area and Goomoolahra falls. There is a 100 m walk to the falls, which are quite small, and the lookout, which gives you a view back towards the coast. From there drive back towards the Tallanbana picnic area. From here you can take the 90 min walk to the base of the twin falls. There is no view of these falls from anywhere except the base. You need to be quite sure footed as the path is largely unsealed and contains a number of sections of uneven steps. At the base of the falls is a pool which is swimmable but the base of the pool is quite rocky and entry and exit are not easy. Small children would need to be assisted in and out of the water. I’m in my 50s and while I walk regularly on level surfaces, the walk back up is challenging and I had to stop 3 or 4 times to have a few minutes rest. Even with the rests, I still made the return trip in the 90 minute time estimated. I then drove back along Springbrook Road and turned right onto Boy Ull Road which takes you directly to the Canyon lookout. From here you can view Purlingbrook falls from the top. You can walk to the base which would be a similar walk to the twin falls. If you are doing one or the other I think the twin falls walk is more worthwhile because you can't see those falls from anywhere but the base, and you can also swim at the base if you like. By this time it was approx 12.30. I had a packed lunch with me but there enough eateries around that you will be able to find something to suit you. I then drove to the Natural Bridge which is on the western arm of the park. This takes you through a steep descent into the Nunimbah valley which is green and lovely with the mountains behind it. There is a very nice park and picnic area running alongside the Nerang River which would be a good place for a late lunch. A little way past the park turn left onto Bakers Road which takes you to the Natural Bridge. I spent about half an hour here walking around the track that takes you to the bridge, which can be viewed from two sides. Note that despite the beautiful pictures of the water here, swimming is prohibited due to effects on the glowworm habitat. I drove back to the coast via the Nerang Murwillambah road which takes you past Advancetown Lake and the Hinze Dam, which is on the northern end of the lake. Turn right onto Advancetown Road to access the dam. This is worth having a look at if only (when the water levels are low) to snap a few photos of the whitened dead trees against the blue of the lake. This route brings you back to the coast from the northern end and I arrived about 4.30 pm.
6. Purling Brook Falls

Reviewed By danielkayelene - The Summit, Australia
A moderate length walk of around 3 hours at a steady pace. It is recommended to walk in a clockwise direction so to avoid walking up steps. The return journey up the hill is via a more sensible gradient with mostly hiking trail rather than steps. I was disappointed to see a large group of swimmers (mostly late teens & young adults) swimming at the base of the Falls, There are signs declaring this is a No Swimming zone to protect the ecosystem. We walked another 20mins further down to find rock pools where swimming was permitted. Amazing rainforest jungle and extremely interesting walk. Falls were a little underwhelming due to the long drought. I look forward to revisiting after a downpour. Toilets, BBQ's and plenty of parking available at the trail start.

Had a bit of friendly competition amongst the family (Father and Sons) at Slideways Go Karting in Nerang, Gold Coast This was a very fun and unique experience, the course was indoors and relatively short with a bunch of ramps over 3 different levels with a shiny plastic track making the karts slide and drift for a very cool experience.
