Numinbah Valley is a natural splendour, treating the eyes to dipping
mounds of greenery, surrounded by waterfalls and rock walls.
The valley is named after the Aboriginal word ‘Nyummin’ meaning ‘hold tight country’; the two mountains were thought to hold together the land within the narrow valley. Visitors to Numinbah Valley can explore the Numinbah Forest Reserve, home to eucalypts and silky oak trees, kangaroo paw plants and Waterfall Creek. The forest area is dense, and was used to teach air crew from World War II survival skills. Springbook National Park also falls in the valley and holds Australia’s largest colonies of glow worms, hidden under the stunning rock formation at Cave Creek. When walking through the park, take the Natural Bridge, a rock formation that offers a spectacular view of the glow worm cave, which emanates light through the waterfalls underneath the bridge. Visitors may like to take a three-hour horse ride through the valley and enjoy billy tea and damper, which they can learn how to make with the tour leaders. Alternatively, pack your own picnic and sit in the subtropical rainforest to relax under the magnificent canopies. The Numinbah Valley is approximately 2 hours’ drive from Brisbane. Camping facilities are available.
