One of the best hikes near the Gold Coast — and most people don't even know it exists. It's a 4km loop through real rainforest, with waterfalls you can actually walk behind. There's a natural swimming hole at the base — cold, but totally worth it on a hot day. Go early in the morning on a weekday to avoid crowds. After rain is the best time — the falls are much stronger and the forest looks amazing 🌿
⚠️ TRAP:
No public transport — you need a car to get there. Parking is very limited, especially on weekends. The trail can be slippery when wet, so wear proper shoes (not sandals or thongs). Don't forget insect repellent — leeches are real, especially after rain 😅
