The Purling Brook Falls are situated within the central section of
Springbrook National Park as part of the Shield Volcano Group, at
Springbrook which is part of the
Gold Coast hinterland, south-west of
Surfers Paradise. After heavy rains the falling waters creates a spectacle that attracts large numbers of tourists. At these times the danger from falling rocks during
landslides can be hazardous so barricades are erected to prevent walking along tracks that pass the base of the falls. ==See also==
