Springbrook, Natural Bridge, and Purling Brook Falls - Stunning Waterfalls Near The Gold Coast
Less than an hour from the Gold Coast you can find some incredible waterfalls in the mountains, like the Natural Bridge and Purling /brook Falls near Springbrook. Over a couple of visits we did hikes exploring both of these waterfalls and their lush, beautiful surrounds. It's definitely worth the drive to take in the beautiful scenery and enjoy the fresh mountain air.

    Love your vid which just popped up now! Nothing like exploring our own backyard. This Hopo Ferry is still in operation - was to be a 2 year trial. I found out about this ferry last week when deciding on my days travels from home on southside of Brisbane to visit friends staying at Surfers Paradise. Caught train and tram to Surfers. But will use the Hopo Ferry soon on my next trip.

    As a former Albury resident I must say I really enjoyed this. You covered a few things that are rarely covered in other videos. A regular walk up monument Hill with my mother was a highlight of the week for a little kid, bus rides to Wodonga, even the local TV station was locally owned, but now it's nothing. All networked out of Canberra. If there is a down side to Albury now it is the almost "ghost station" feel of the famous railway station, that used to be a hive of activity back in the 70's and even 80's with an abundance of trains, and buses being used at times like today was unheard of. The Lavington Sports Club was the place to go of an evening, great local bands and hardly ever any trouble there. People respected each other back in the day.
