Just the name should ensure that most walkers would like to come to Springbrook National Park to have a look-see! The short stroll to the highest lookout on Springbrook Plateau passes through some ancient Antarctic Beech forest.
The lookout lives up to its name by providing a panoramic view across Mount Warning to Byron Bay and Coolangatta, though the view can also quickly disappear in the fog and mist that can suddenly roll in from the coast.

How to get There
Two bitumen roads lead to Springbrook Plateau. Both roads are steep and narrow in places, so please take care. Springbrook Plateau is 29 kilometres from Mudgeeraba, 34 kilometres from Nerang or 18 kilometres from the Nerang-Murwillumbah Road in Numinbah Valley.
