Today we went for a drive to Springbrook National Park. Our silver wedding anniversary is coming up soon and we're on the look out for somewhere to spend it. We'd seen some lovely log cabins in the rain forest at Springbrook on the internet so we decided to have a drive up there and take a look at them.
Springbrook is only 38k's away from us so it didn't take long to get there. We had to drive up some windey roads though with scarey drops over the side at times.
Turns out the cabins were not as nice in real life so we decided against them.
On the way down we stopped at Purling Brook Falls. The water falls over 100 metres into the valley. We also stopped at some lookouts to take in the view of the rainforest.
After one of these stops I felt an itch on my foot and looked down and saw a leech having a munch on me. Panic set in and I demanded the car be pulled over while screaming at my feet. Kenny managed to flick it off but it took me about an hour to calm down.
That'll teach me not to wear flip flops on a rain forest walk!
