Natural Arch
Natural Bridge (also called Natural Arch) nestles in the scenic Numinbah Valley near the Queensland-New South Wales border.
See the picturesque rock formation, stroll through subtropical rainforest and have a bush picnic. Underneath the bridge lives a colony of glow-worms.
Natural Bridge is about an hour’s drive from the Gold Coast or two hours from Brisbane.
In a day you can also visit more of Springbrook National Park and Lamington National Park, or cross the border to New South Wales parks.
Natural Bridge is within the Natural Bridge National Park, which hosts a number of walking trails. The area takes its name from an ancient geological phenomenon where, through the passage of time, tumbling water and rocks broke through the base of the creek bed into a large cave below, forming a perfect arch.
