Waterfalls in Springbrook National Park

We went to the Springbrook National Park on Dec. 30 & 31, 2010 and also Jan. 2, 2011. In the beginning, we only wanted to visit there one day, i.e. Dec. 30, 2010, and visited other national parks for the rest of holidays. So we have tried to visit as many waterfalls we could reach as possible in one day. We decided to walk both Purling Brook circuit (Dec. 31, 2010) and Warrie circuit (Jan. 2, 2011) when we found that the tracks of Lamington National Park are still closed due to flood and the central and west Queensland is also under flood.

It took less than 2 hours to walk the 4km Purling Brook circuit. It is fantastic to walk behind Purling Brook waterfalls and watch it pouring down from sky high. I believed that we brought at least one leech back to Brisbane from this circuit, because I got one sticking on my leg right after getting on our car in Jan. 1, 2011 afternoon. So disgusting.

It is another story for Warrie circuit. It is a 5-hours 17km difficult track, but we saw Blackfellow Falls, Poondahra Falls, Poonyahra Falls, Meeting of the Waters, Gooroolba Falls, Ngarri-dhum Falls, Kadjagooma Falls, Goomoolahra Falls, Rainbow Falls, Tamarramai Falls and the top of Twin Falls this day. Most of them are great, but my legs are so tired and we both got leeches stuck on our pants and shoes. It makes me feel awful. I hope that people can find a way to repel leech when doing bush walking.
