Experiencing the World Heritage–listed Gondwana Rainforests in a thunderstorm is hard to beat. Springbrook in the Gold Coast Hinterland, 6 hours, 17km, rain, thunder, elevation, leeches, and you couldn’t trust a rock, root, or leaves throughout, especially in the countless tree scrambles, swollen creek crossings.
