Springbrook

2nd Feb

Mum, Dad, Russell, William and us, all went for a drive down to Lamington National Park (2 hours south of Brisbane) we had a look at a couple of look outs on the way – depending on the look out, is depending on what we saw eg – thick cloud or a view of the Gold Coast.

Visited Purling Brook Falls and had a good view of the water fall and of teh rain forest.

We decided on walking the Twin Falls Circuit (there hasn’t been any falls in years due to the drought – but we’ve had a couple of days heavy down pour, so we were hopeful).

Mum and William got side tracked about 15minutes into the walk at the cascade waterfalls, so we left them to it to catch up.

It was definitely worth the walk, both falls were flowing it was great!
The four of us did the circuit without seeing the other two. Luckily William had his mobile, so were in contact. We had our picnic lunch about 2pm while we waited them the to catch up. They ended up doing another 4km walk and came out at another lookout, down the road, so we jumped in the car and picked them up.

The rain was coming so we called it a day and headed back home, with most of the family having a nap on the way.
