Springbrook National Park

The picturesque Gold Coast Spring Creek National Park is a fairyland suitable for hiking, with lush rainforests covering the mountains and excellent hiking trails along the way. Along the way, the scenery is charming, with canyons, cliffs, and waterfalls constantly intertwining before your eyes.

1. Go to the Nature Bridge to watch noctiluca scintillans

The important thing here is to go to the Natural Bridge to admire the sparkling Australian luminous insects that shine like stars in the cave. On one side of the natural bridge is a cave with cascading waterfalls, where you can see large patches of Australian luminous insects (a type of insect with glowing tails).

They gather at the top of the cave, emitting a blue and white light, like a night sky filled with stars, stunning! Luminous insects shine all year round at night, but during the dry years of August to October, they do not emit much light. From November to March, mushrooms can be seen shining in the darkness here, while fireflies are relatively rare as they only appear between mid November and mid December.

After admiring the glowing insects and fireflies in this unique cave, remember to lift your head and look at the stars shining in the night sky!

2. Climbing the observation deck

The terrain of Gold Coast Spring Creek National Park is steep. If you have the courage, don't miss climbing up to the famous Canyon Lookout Observatory and Best of All Lookout Observatory located on the cliffs, and looking up at the scenery that has been passed by and those that haven't had the chance to go.
