Are you looking for the best waterfalls on the Gold Coast? Here's a quick rundown of our favourite spots in Springbrook National Park.

Purling Brook Falls Circuit: Standing tall at 106 meters, this waterfall is a must-see. The 4km hike through the ancient Gondwana Rainforest is worth every step.

Warringa Pool: A peaceful 2km detour from Purling Brook Falls with tranquil rock pools.

Twin Falls: An easy 4km circuit with lush rainforest and a walk behind the waterfall. After rain, the path is filled with cascading falls.

Blackfellow Falls: Walk behind this waterfall for a refreshing natural shower.

Natural Bridge: A stunning rock formation with a waterfall flowing through a basalt cave.

Rainbow Falls: A short walk from the Twin Falls car park, offering a beautiful natural shower.

Goomoolahra Falls: Enjoy stunning views from the Goomoolahra Picnic Area.

Tips:

- Visit early morning or on weekdays to avoid crowds.
- Wear boots and pack bug repellent.
- Bring plenty of water and snacks for a full day of adventure.

A recap of our time in Bali 🌺

This was the first time we had ever been to Bali and to be honest we were always a bit put off by visiting only because of how many Aussies go there just for the beach clubs and because its ‘cheap’. But we knew we needed to experience Bali for ourselves and we are so glad we did!

Locations for each pic

✨ Ubud palace - Puri Saren Agung
🍋 Traditional market - Pasar Yadnya Blahbatuh
🎨 Art of Batik Making
🧑🏼‍🍳 Traditional balinese cooking class
💧Kanto Lampo waterfall
🏡 Airbnb - Villa Leove

For anyone wanting to have the ultimate experience in Bali we would highly recommend doing things that teach you about the Balinese culture and traditions, this not only encourages responsible travelling but also supports the local communities in Bali.

For us Bali was more than just a destination but an experience and we can’t wait to return soon!

& Thanks to for hosting us in Bali 😊

A question we get asked a lot..

How do you not get sick of each other? 😂

Tbh ever since we met we have worked together so we are pretty use to each others company.. from working in a gym to travelling Australia and now running a business!

Here are some tips for any couples who want to start travelling together more ⬇️

- Give each other space and alone time
- Communicate & listen to how each other are feeling
- Spend time with other people or ring a friend/family member
- Have different hobbies you enjoy
- EAT!! most our arguments happen because some one is hungry 😂
- Remember to always have FUN, don’t take life so seriously!

Yes we argue and bicker but its all worth it when you have so many incredible memories together 🙌🏽

Sometimes travelling doesn’t go to plan.. 😅

Our trip to Fitzroy was so so good but my god did things not go to plan ⬇️

💸 We forgot to bring our own snorkel gear on our trip so we were stung $50 to hire them
🤦🏼‍♀️ We wanted to get some nice couple pics and realised we also forgot our tripod on the day
😅 My (maddys phone) fell into the crack of a rotten tree on the beach and we spent over 30 mins trying to get it out, we literally thought it was gone forever
🤷🏼‍♀️ After using our Go Pro it now has green lines on the screen

Nevertheless we focused on the positives - the good weather, the beautiful island & swimming with turtles 🙌🏽

Just thought we would share the reality of travelling sometimes 😂

You NEED to visit these 3 places in North Queensland ⬇️😱

1. Behana Gorge waterfall - 6km return
2. Babinda boulders - 1.3km return
3. Josephine Falls - 1.2km return

They are all so beautiful and can all be explored in a day-trip from Cairns!

Our favourite waterfall was Behana Gorge, if you have time it’s definitely worth doing but let us warn you.. there are a few hills 🥵

Also the rockslides at Josephine Falls were fun but you will get a bruised bum 🤣

Last day of being 25... 🤯

I always remind myself that it is a privilege getting older.

I love birthdays because I always reflect on what I have achieved since the last. It’s easy to feel pressured about not doing “enough” or keeping up with society’s timeline.

Let’s just say, the past 12 months have been a whirlwind of life lessons, memories, and experiences, for which I am incredibly grateful!

We are so excited to see what the next year brings, and to share it with you all 🙌🏽

Fun fact - I am actually nearly 3 years older then Aiden🤭🤣

Would love to be back relaxing here 🌞🌴

We had such an enjoyable staycay here a few weeks ago! Even though we were staying locally it felt like a holiday away from home.

We loved being able to walk everywhere, spend our days swimming, having a full sized apartment to cook and enjoy the view from the balcony.. the sunsets were soo amazing!!
