Springbrook Rainforest -
Springbrook plateau has been described as "the Switzerland of Queensland" and a unique wonder. Notable lookouts on the plateau include Best of All Lookout, overlooking the Tweed Valley directly south of Springbrook, as well as Canyon, Goomoolahra and Purlingbrook lookouts.

FLORA
Two kinds of open eucalypt forest are seen on Springbrook plateau. Tall white-trunked flooded gums Eucalyptus grandis tower over palms and tree ferns. Attractive Blue Mountains ash Eucalyptus oreades, with its lemon-coloured trunk, and the brown fibrous-barked New England blackbutt. Prickly-leaved heath plants, including the golden banksia, red bottlebrush and purple hovea, make a colourful understorey.
The escarpment also features hundreds of native Xanthorrhoea australis, the grass tree, austral grasstree or blackboy. An Australian plant. It is the most commonly seen species of the genus Xanthorrhoea.

FAUNA
Of the many mammals living in the rainforest, pademelons (small rainforest wallabies)are abundant on the property. In addition, many nocturnal animals, especially the greyish brushtail possum and the smaller, reddish, ringtail possum that has a distinctive white tip on its tail. A glimpse of the tiny and elusive sugar glider or large greater glider is the reward for those interested enough to take a red-filtered torch and explore the tracks at night.

The rainforests and rocky outcrops provide the ideal habitat for the spotted-tailed quoll, mainland Australia's largest native marsupial carnivore. Normally nocturnal, the quoll, is at home with echidnas, bandicoots, native birds, reptiles and even frogs.

Over a hundred different bird species can be seen and heard at OBSIDIAN Escarpment. Noteworthy species include the raucous and distinctively plumed yellow-tailed black cockatoo, which can sometimes be seen feeding on the seeds of banksia, casuarina and wattle. The elusive Albert's lyrebird is another species, smaller bush birds that may be seen along the tracks include the yellow robin, rufous fantail and the dainty superb fairy-wren. Three species of rosella are present. The most striking is the descriptively named crimson rosella with its plumage of scarlet and royal blue.
