퀸즐랜드‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 폭포

Kondalilla Falls is an impressive waterfall in Kondalilla National Park where Skene Creek plunges roughly 90 metres into a steep rainforest gorge. The cascade flows over dark rock ledges before continuing through the forested valley below, and is worth capturing a few memorable photos any time of the year. Surrounded by dense subtropical rainforest, the beautiful falls are one of the most well-known natural features of the Sunshine Coast hinterland.

Simpson Falls is a beautiful small cascade flowing over rocky ledges along a forested creek, and is most impressive after periods of rain. There are several walking tracks and picnic areas nearby, making it an ideal stop for a break or a scenic lunch while exploring the Mount Coot-tha Loop and surrounding bushland trails.

Curtis Falls is easily accessible from the parking area, and it's beautiful, too. The falls are a short 1.5-kilometer walk, and they plunge from a dark basalt rock ledge into a blue pool at the bottom. Swimming is not allowed here, as the area is home to sensitive glow worms and other freshwater animals. The best time to visit is after rainfall when the flow is stronger, though the creek usually runs year-round.

Mapleton Falls drops an amazing 120 metres into the valley below, but is only visible seasonally. The most impressive time to visit the falls is after heavy rain, usually during the wetter months, but come off-season, and the falls might just be a light trickle. These falls are unique because, from this lookout area, the falls are a ways down below, and visitors get an almost bird's-eye view.

A short 200-metre detour from the main circuit leads to Witches Falls Lookout, where you can view the waterfall from a raised platform. The falls are seasonal and only flow after recent rainfall, so timing your visit after wet weather offers the best chance of seeing water cascading over the basalt rock face. Even when dry, the lookout provides a peaceful rainforest setting. The side track is short but can be damp underfoot, so take care after rain.

The John Stacey Suspension Bridge spans Little Nerang Creek below Purling Brook Falls, forming a key link in the walking circuit through the gorge. Opened in 2015, it provides elevated vantage points both upstream to the waterfall and downstream to smaller cascades while allowing visitors to avoid landslip-prone sections of the old track. The bridge and associated track upgrades were designed to improve safety and reconnect the circuit within the World Heritage-listed rainforest.

Blackfellows Falls is a tall, thin cascade that drops into a steep, forested gorge along the track. The waterfall is most often viewed from a dedicated lookout, which frames the vertical drop against the cliff face. Surrounded by subtropical forest, it’s an impressive highlight of the walk.

Twin Falls is a pair of cascades dropping into a rock pool, framed by sheer cliffs and lush rainforest. The circuit track passes directly behind the falls, allowing close views of the cascade and surrounding gorge walls. The flow varies seasonally, but the falls remain one of Springbrook’s most photographed features.
