Twin Falls, Springbrook
Twin Falls is a popular waterfall and swimming hole spot at Springbrook, south of the Gold Coast. This is because the area has all the facilities that you would need (toilets and picnic tables) and the walk is relatively easy to get to the waterfalls.
Not only are there two nice swimming holes but you will get to walk through caves and see much different wildlife on your way. This walk is suitable for younger kids, but the rocks can be slippery when wet.
Directions to Twin Falls, Springbrook.
Cedar Creek Falls, Tamborine Mountain
Located near Thunder Bird Park, this gem of a spot has two large swimming holes, a natural rock slippery slide and a range of points on the rock cliff to jump from (the lowest being 1 metre high, the highest being over approximately 7 metres high), jumping from the cliff is done at your own risk of course.
