Purling Brook - Springbrook National Park

posted by sacah on Aug 21, 2009 national park, travel,

We traveled to Springbrook National Park again this weekend to checkout another trail. The Purling Brook circuit and Warringa Pool track. Not as nice as the the Twin Falls circuit we went on a few weeks back, but certainly a nice walk. Unfortunatly half of this circuit has been blocked off, just after the Purling Brook Falls, aparently the blocked off bit is not as steep climbing back up, but going back the way we came there were quite a few stairs.

Much bigger waterfall to walk behind, and a beautiful place to have lunch by the Warringa Pool. I think it's 6km return if you do the Warringa Pool track too. Trail has lots of stair, uneven ground, rocks and tree roots across the trail.

This track required decent grid footwear and some degree of balance, not a smooth even walking path.
