Purlingbrook Falls, Waterfall in Springbrook National Park, Australia
The 106-meter waterfall plunges from an elevated position of 590 meters, creating a single cascade over ancient basalt rock formations.
The waterfall formed millions of years ago through volcanic activity, becoming part of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Gondwana Rainforests in Queensland.
Aboriginal communities maintain strong connections to this land within Springbrook National Park, considering it a place of natural and spiritual importance.
Visitors can access the falls through a 4-kilometer circuit track featuring multiple viewing platforms and a suspension bridge installed in 2015.
The waterfall creates a horsetail effect as it falls freely without touching the cliff face, surrounded by more than 100 bird species.
