+Bikes & Drones The more I watch your videos, the more I want to come and live in South East Asia for a more simplistic lifestyle! Much cheaper than living on the Gold Coast! You'd have some amazing waterfalls over there though wouldn't you?
+bakerXderek It is an amazing place. You'd love it! Lots of View Ropes for you! Yeah, you have to be careful on some of these roads as they can be pretty bumpy and narrow and have long drops off the side!
+SoopaBee Thanks mate. It is a great place. Giving a little snippet of it in my other video made me want to gather all my footage together and create a full video. I could have made an hour long video of the place, there is that much to see.
Great video mate!! Really loved the trip up there via your cameras, it's a great place that I've only visited a couple of times. Loved the mix of different footage to follow your narrative - worked really well. No wonder you don't drink coffee... that super fast narrative at the first lookout...wow!!! Of course Animal had to make an appearance - it always helps to see the look on his face :) I see you left me out of a video, just like I did you :-P Actually I think I might have been out of shot on just a couple of bits...? Great stuff mate, we should be getting paid by the tourism people, I reckon ;-)
+CaptainCranky Thanks mate. You'll have to come up and do one of the trails with me some time. You'd love it! Yep, no need for coffee! lol Yes, unfortunately the video was getting too long, so the bits of footage featuring you were left out. I think you were indeed right behind me when I filmed that bit with Animal. I think we need to share our videos with the relevant tourism authorities for sure. Especially yours!
+MrMarcie Yeah, the mountains around here throw out some great scenery. The options are limitless. Much better than where I grew up in Victoria, although there were some pretty nice views around there as well.
+Tim Kreitz Adventures They are pretty stunning. I was thinking of your recent waterfall that you featured when I was editing this. I hope I didn't make yours feel too inferior! lol I guess there are not many large waterfalls in Texas?
Amazing vid mate, those waterfalls were amazing, you are very lucky to live so close to some beautiful countryside. even animal enjoyed it :) If I ever get up that way it will be one place I would like to ride. Thanks for showing RSM8
+sixmiffedy No worries man. It certainly is pretty awesome. I've spent a lot of time up there over the years, it's my go to area when showing visitors to our city something different.
+Keith Wong HaHa! The drop kick turkey! I have some more footage of them but couldn't fit everything in. Thanks for riding along with me once again mate. :-)
+Blackdog motovlog Thanks mate. Yeah, it's an area that I am pretty passionate about. I've spent a lot of time up there over the years and love taking visitors to the region up there to experience it.
+Skeggy Cruiser Thanks mate. It definitely is an amazing place up there and the roads to get there on either sides of the hill are made for motorcycles. RS2M8 :-)
marvelous, I am soooo going to be checking that place out, looks like I will be fitting in well, there are waterfalls , and I do love me a good waterfall!!
It's quite nice up there. Was driving through the hinterlands on the weekend with my girlfriend and went through here. Quite a nice area. Will be taking myself up there in the near future on my bike when I get a day to myself. :)
+Angry Skipper Yeah, I saw your post saying how knackered you were after your drive. Where else did you go? It is a great road on the bike! Let me know when you do!
Very Well done with the Maps, Stationary Clips, during the Ride, & even voiceovers !!! U Created an Excellent Edit easy to watch !!! Thx for the Share of that amazing Location !!! Primo Edito ;)
+Dracati Ducati Why thank you my friend. You always say the nicest things. Careful though, my head might swell and I cannot afford to buy a larger helmet just now! It is a great spot, that is for sure! :-) I'd love to get a drone up there for some aerial shots over the falls.
That comment at the end was the best. The green behind the gold. I know I have said it before but next time I make it down there you have to take me there.
+troyboy986 I have to be honest. "The green behind the gold" is not mine, it's a tourism slogan that I love! Yep, you've been saying that for a while now! lol Likewise, I need to get up and see North Queensland. I have three lots of friends up there visiting right now! It's hard to get away when you have commitments though.
+Moto Tayls Springbrook is a perfect honeymoon destination. There are some very romantic and secluded getaways up there from what I hear. Being somewhat local though, I've never thought of going up there to stay for a weekend.
awsome stuff mate!! i learn alot from watching your vids about this place, its always intresting watching your vids aus! enjoyed it! good to see animal out in the trees enjoy that springbrook goodness!!
+Escape Behind Bars Thanks mate. I love learning local history and interesting facts and stuff about the Gold Coast. I know heaps more about the history here than where I grew up. Animal loves getting out there and playing up. He is an Animal after all. He got up to more mischief over the weekend too. I'll put his pics up on FB soon.
Nice video and road. QLD is amazing. I've probably told you this, but I fell in love with QLD nature when I first saw the pictures. I just have to visit it one day.
+mrcombi The Best Of All Lookout is always a must see when I take visitors up there. I have not jumped through the arch but I remember seeing people doing it back in the 1980's when there was a bridge going over the top. I think someone died there from memory, so they removed the bridge and re-routed the path so that it no longer went up top.
+MrAusAdventure Thanks for letting us ride along. I continue to be amazed with your country Australia. Very beautiful in so many ways and so similar to the USA. Springbrook could easily be mistaken for the Pacific Northwest.
+Adventure2wheels No worries mate. Thanks for coming along for the ride. We both have some pretty amazing places around us. I think you guys have a lot more large scale waterfalls than we do though.
+Faceless Rebel No worries mate. I don't expect you to know everything. YET! ;-) Yes, he is somewhat of a mascot and even has his own Facebook page. facebook.com/Ausanimaladventures I did have another mascot, but unfortunately I killed him on the first day of my trip away with Captain Cranky a year ago. th-cam.com/video/s83ypOYN1x0/w-d-xo.html
I used to tell people in my limo the same thing, they only get the main tourist type of advertising on TV in Sydney and Melbourne. I used to tell them to head up the mountains and things like that. You know much more of that area then I ever did, I know some of it, but it's been too long, forgotten the roads and I never seen that many waterfalls up there. Beautiful place, this is where I say there's 2 parts of the GoldCoast, the shitty night life and all the good stuff.
+MotoLexy&SupaNautica Yeah, you have to get off the beaten track to see the real Australia. So many people that live locally have not even been up there which I find amazing. Even those who have lived on the Gold Coast their whole lives.
+Nick Islington Biker Oh yeah, you'd love it! TH-cam just does not do the views justice. You can hardly see anything compared to the views in real life. Which cliff edges? When I was riding or walking? Or both? lol
The walking clip from 7.05 onwards in the vid gave me chills and thrills at the same time, although you might have held camera on the extender, still very close to edge!! I agree with Captain Cranky that you both should be appointed representative for Australian tourism :D
+Nick Islington Biker Oh yeah, I had the GoPro on the end of a pole. The first clips at the bottom of the falls I was standing on a bridge and leaning over the railing. At the top of the falls there is also a railing at the lookout I was standing on. Perfectly safe! I can't get too close to edges when there is no railing!
+regulardan Let me know if you do and I will pop up and say hello! I need to go bike camping as I still have not done that yet. Captain Cranky and myself were talking about doing it once it warmed up a little. Maybe Lions Road or Queen Mary Falls.
+MrAusAdventure Well we were actually thinking of going back to Canungra first week of October and using Sharp Park River Bend Country Bush Camping as a base camp to explore that area a bit.
awesome vid man. i really enjoyed that. it's no surprise that it's a little know secret. i think a lot of us are guilty of not visiting some of the beautiful locations we hav right in our back yards. "it's the green behind the gold" - i like it!
+shineesideup Yeah. I find it very strange that there are plenty of people I know on the Gold Coast who have been here for many years that have never been to Springbrook. Even though it is less than an hour from most parts of the city. Crazy. Maybe not everyone is an adventurous explorer like I am?
i think it's kinda human nature. we need to go to a far-away location to feel like we're getting away, so we miss out on the things right around the corner. i knew a guy who lived on the gc who used to holiday on the sunshine coast. i'd say to him "so you live in one of the best holiday destinations in the world and you holiday elsewhere".
+shineesideup Yeah, true. I have had many a weekend away at the Sunshine Coast. Love it up there. But yeah, I have been all the way around the world, but have still not seen the outback, Tasmania, north QLD or ventured further west than Adelaide here. I know quite a few people from other countries online who have seen more of Australia than I have!
That looks like a fantastic area to vista and those roads look very enticing on two wheels. Bugger about that rider going off the edge, that's no good to hear
+Carmo Motovlog It certainly is mate. It doesn't matter how many times I do this road, it is still enjoyable every single time. Yeah, at least he was OK from what I could tell.
+2ForFlinching I agree! Start a petition will you and forward it to them. I'll happily take their money so that I can continue to show people these great places!
The more I watch the more I want to resettle my family near the Gold Coast. So beautiful and a great video. Waterfalls!!
+Bikes & Drones The more I watch your videos, the more I want to come and live in South East Asia for a more simplistic lifestyle! Much cheaper than living on the Gold Coast! You'd have some amazing waterfalls over there though wouldn't you?
***** Most things are cheap but a private education is very pricey here. Haven't seen a waterfall here that's even as close as what you showed here.
+Bikes & Drones Ah. OK. I'd love to get some footage up there with a drone. That would be epic!
That place looks awesome !!! Them drops are scary lookin though lol
+bakerXderek It is an amazing place. You'd love it! Lots of View Ropes for you!
Yeah, you have to be careful on some of these roads as they can be pretty bumpy and narrow and have long drops off the side!
What a fantastic National Park. There is so much to look at. The water falls would make a great bike wash.
+azdesertdog It is a great place. If only I could get the bike to the base of the falls! lol
What a great place, thanks for the ride.
+NakedBeachRider It definitely is great. Thanks for coming along for the ride. :-)
Loved the scenery, thanks for taking us along.
+Pete F No worries, thanks for tagging along for the ride. :-)
Again, awesome incredible country of yours. Thank you for sharing this wonderland just minutes away from the Gold Coast. Wow. Speechless.
+SoopaBee Thanks mate. It is a great place. Giving a little snippet of it in my other video made me want to gather all my footage together and create a full video. I could have made an hour long video of the place, there is that much to see.
That looks like an amazing place to ride. Nice twisty road with amazing scenery.
+MotardSteve Yes indeed! You cannot go wrong really.
Lovely....the breathtaking scenery & those awesome curves...a delight for a motorcyclist.. :-)
+As I Ride MOTOVLOGGING A delight indeed. I just cannot get enough of this road. Luckily it is the closest winding road to me!
Great video mate!! Really loved the trip up there via your cameras, it's a great place that I've only visited a couple of times. Loved the mix of different footage to follow your narrative - worked really well.
No wonder you don't drink coffee... that super fast narrative at the first lookout...wow!!!

I think we need to share our videos with the relevant tourism authorities for sure. Especially yours!
This looks like an awesome ride... ahhh our country really is amazing..
+Winnie Rider It is Winnie, there really are some great places out there and what better way to explore them than on two wheels!
Wauw, great scenery. Wish we had that over here in our flat country.
+MrMarcie Yeah, the mountains around here throw out some great scenery. The options are limitless. Much better than where I grew up in Victoria, although there were some pretty nice views around there as well.
Incredible, man. Those waterfalls are spectacular.
+Tim Kreitz Adventures They are pretty stunning. I was thinking of your recent waterfall that you featured when I was editing this. I hope I didn't make yours feel too inferior! lol I guess there are not many large waterfalls in Texas?
Not like what you have, that's for sure! LOL.
Wow cool place....
+Psycho Paul It definitely is. I love it up there. :-)
Thanks for the tour.
+Chris Caliente No worries. Thanks for tagging along.
Amazing vid mate, those waterfalls were amazing, you are very lucky to live so close to some beautiful countryside. even animal enjoyed it :) If I ever get up that way it will be one place I would like to ride. Thanks for showing RSM8
+02bigkev I'll show you Springbrook for sure if you make it up here Kev. Some of the best roads around with the scenery to match. RS2M8 :-)
Looks like a beautiful park! Thanks for sharing it!!!
+Extxlnghrn It certainly is! No worries, thanks for watching! :-)
That looks like a beautiful area dude, thanks for showing us around. :)
+sixmiffedy No worries man. It certainly is pretty awesome. I've spent a lot of time up there over the years, it's my go to area when showing visitors to our city something different.
What a beautiful place. Great mix of camera shots.
+wyvernbiker It is a great part of the world mate. Thanks my friend. :-)
Thank you for the tour ^.^ Awesome overview of the forests, the waterfall is amazing and so much to see including the drop kick turkey ^.^ .
+Keith Wong HaHa! The drop kick turkey! I have some more footage of them but couldn't fit everything in. Thanks for riding along with me once again mate. :-)
Awesome video mate. I could really sense your enthusiasm for nature and the area.... Inspiring. Thanks 😀
+Blackdog motovlog Thanks mate. Yeah, it's an area that I am pretty passionate about. I've spent a lot of time up there over the years and love taking visitors to the region up there to experience it.
Great video, and good to see what's past the pine mountain turn off.
+thebeigecardigan Yeah, most riders turn off, but every now and then one continues on to explore the plateau. It's well worth the trip.
Wow that road looks awesome, love the view over the top of all those tree and the falls, great video Mr Aus, RSM8.
+Skeggy Cruiser Thanks mate. It definitely is an amazing place up there and the roads to get there on either sides of the hill are made for motorcycles. RS2M8 :-)
marvelous, I am soooo going to be checking that place out, looks like I will be fitting in well, there are waterfalls , and I do love me a good waterfall!!
+Andy Pandy Motovlogs Oh yeah! I'll give you a personal tour!
+MrAusAdventure I didn't want to come right out and ask/beg but since you offered :-) LOL I would love that!!!!1 I am getting down there 30 Dec
It's quite nice up there. Was driving through the hinterlands on the weekend with my girlfriend and went through here. Quite a nice area. Will be taking myself up there in the near future on my bike when I get a day to myself. :)
+Angry Skipper Yeah, I saw your post saying how knackered you were after your drive. Where else did you go? It is a great road on the bike! Let me know when you do!
10/10 will visit this place.
+Titan From Hell If you do get up this way, let me know and I will give you a tour!
+MrAusAdventure Sure man! That would be awesome.
Beautiful area!!
+Samcro10 It certainly is! I know that you would have some pretty amazing countryside where you live as well!
+MrAusAdventure Not so much mountains where i live but it looks a bit like in the northern part here, but thats like 1000km away :)
Very Well done with the Maps, Stationary Clips, during the Ride, & even voiceovers !!!
U Created an Excellent Edit easy to watch !!!
Thx for the Share of that amazing Location !!!
Primo Edito ;)
+Dracati Ducati Why thank you my friend. You always say the nicest things. Careful though, my head might swell and I cannot afford to buy a larger helmet just now!

+iSlander Thanks mate. Yeah, you have told me! lol
I'd love for you to visit, I really would. :-)
Yes, the beauty of the Gold Coast... Glad you didn't miss 'the best of all lookout' as many do... And you mentioned the 'natural arch'... ]
+mrcombi The Best Of All Lookout is always a must see when I take visitors up there.
I have not jumped through the arch but I remember seeing people doing it back in the 1980's when there was a bridge going over the top. I think someone died there from memory, so they removed the bridge and re-routed the path so that it no longer went up top.
Really awesome vid man that scenery is just beautiful! :)
+Its2loudyer2old It certainly is pretty amazing. Thanks man. :-)
Awesome ride buddy!!! Thanks
+docmanrides1 Thanks mate! I'd love to give you the tour in real life some day!
That would be an awesome adventure Mr. Aus!!! ;)
+MrAusAdventure Thanks for letting us ride along. I continue to be amazed with your country Australia. Very beautiful in so many ways and so similar to the USA. Springbrook could easily be mistaken for the Pacific Northwest.
+Adventure2wheels No worries mate. Thanks for coming along for the ride. We both have some pretty amazing places around us. I think you guys have a lot more large scale waterfalls than we do though.
I love the Gold Coast! So beautiful! I need to win the lotto so I can move there hahaha. Great vid!
+SAFF It's getting a bit like that with housing prices here. At least anything nearish the beach anyway.
Thanks mate!
Stunning scenery! Will have to check this out. Loved the part where you hopped of the bike to quickly check the look out hahaha!!
+DashingBrunnette I was waiting for someone to mention that! lol
Only an hour and a half or so from Brissie!
hahha! that part had me cracking up xD HAHA!
Awesome spot!!
+JoeJoe Moto Now that you have a road bike, you will have to ride down and visit it! ;-)
+MrAusAdventure Oh for sure!
As you said truly breathtaking Mr Aus. Nice muppet shot haha
+Faceless Rebel It certainly is mate. Yeah, Animal cannot help himself. He loves the camera.
***** I have noticed him in a few of your videos now. Take it he is the mascot. forgive me if I'm stating the obvious, I'm fairly new to the channel.
+Faceless Rebel No worries mate. I don't expect you to know everything. YET! ;-)
Yes, he is somewhat of a mascot and even has his own Facebook page.
facebook.com/Ausanimaladventures
I did have another mascot, but unfortunately I killed him on the first day of my trip away with Captain Cranky a year ago.

***** Sad times Brother. RIP nick the bear.
I used to tell people in my limo the same thing, they only get the main tourist type of advertising on TV in Sydney and Melbourne. I used to tell them to head up the mountains and things like that.

Very beautiful ! Thumbs up from me! :) Love it! :)
+Drone Girl It is a very beautiful place. I'd love to get a drone and film the waterfalls from the air some day.
***** You would capture some amazing views: )
Superb views, just amazing & mystical!! Can't believe how close you were to the cliff edges. Definitely a favourite vid ever! :D
+Nick Islington Biker Oh yeah, you'd love it! TH-cam just does not do the views justice. You can hardly see anything compared to the views in real life. Which cliff edges? When I was riding or walking? Or both? lol

Haha, good to hear. It does look scary not seeing railings on the footage ;-)
I hope Aussie tourist board watch your vids :-). RS Mr Aus.
great area to drive. informative video! :)
+Bavarian Biker It certainly is! Thanks my friend. :-)
Nice tour man. I need to go camping up that way again soon. Its a good spot
+regulardan Let me know if you do and I will pop up and say hello!
I need to go bike camping as I still have not done that yet. Captain Cranky and myself were talking about doing it once it warmed up a little. Maybe Lions Road or Queen Mary Falls.
+MrAusAdventure Well we were actually thinking of going back to Canungra first week of October and using Sharp Park River Bend Country Bush Camping as a base camp to explore that area a bit.
+regulardan Oh cool. The weekend of the 3rd/4th?
+MrAusAdventure yeah that's the one. want to pop up and hang out?
+regulardan Sounds good. Maybe we can go for a ride up to O'Reilly's and back. I'll let you know. Remind me before you go.

+castrejo67 Thanks mate! :-)
ha! This one almost got past me...but I got that itch that said, 'hey that MrAusAdventure guy must've made something in the past week'.
+Adventures in Real Life When that MrAus itch rears up its ugly head, you just have to scratch it!
That looks like a fantastic area to vista and those roads look very enticing on two wheels. Bugger about that rider going off the edge, that's no good to hear
+Carmo Motovlog It certainly is mate. It doesn't matter how many times I do this road, it is still enjoyable every single time. Yeah, at least he was OK from what I could tell.
Hello AUS Tourism Board: subsidize this man immediately!
+2ForFlinching I agree! Start a petition will you and forward it to them. I'll happily take their money so that I can continue to show people these great places!
