4.2/5
91 reviews
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.Springbrook · 358m from downtown

Recently enjoyed a climb to the summit of Page again, the climb was tough, not that I mean to say that, but this particular hike involved climbing up a rocky, steep stone face and it was windy, but having said that there are many other options in the area to suit climbers of all experience levels.

Worthwhile for bird's eye view of the entire stretch of Gold Coast. From here, one can see the development across the CBD. I was lucky to notice whales across the Pacific Ocean. Binoculars provided at this place help a bit. Food at the bar is excellent! Servers are courteous too.

Paradise Farm is a treasure trove for experiencing the Australian countryside! As soon as you enter the farm, you can smell the natural scent of hay and soil. The fluffy sheep, cute kangaroos and emus are wandering on the grass, which is very immersive. The most important thing you can't miss is the wool shearing performance! The farm workers skillfully "transform" the sheep. After the fluffy thick hair is shed, the sheep instantly becomes "skinny". You can also touch the wool on the spot, which is soft and healing. There is also a sheepdog show, where the dogs flexibly shuttle among the sheep, which is super smart! By the way, you can also feed the kangaroos by hand. They look super cute holding the feed bags. Remember to touch their backs gently. There is also a traditional Billy Tea brewing performance in the farm. Tea is boiled on the campfire with a tin kettle and paired with Australian toast. One bite is the authentic country taste. If you want to take photos, put on the cowboy clothes provided by the farm, stand in front of the red barn, and take photos that look like a western movie in minutes. It is a great place to immerse yourself in the Australian farming and pastoral life.

This is a very large forest park. The scenery is relatively primitive, but also very beautiful. It is also the largest gathering area of ​​fireflies in Australia, but we didn’t see any during the day.

The deepest feeling of the Gold Coast hot air balloon experience is to get up very early, but when the hot air balloon slowly lifts off to see the sunrise, it feels like everything is worth it, and the lifting process is very smooth, looking out from high altitude views are very open!

The rides and attractions are good. However, most of the rides got only one staff operating the process. Even though not many people were queuing (maybe around 30), we had to wait for at least 30 mins or more. Therefore we didn’t have enough time to play.
