Springbrook Theosophical Education and Retreat Centre in Springbrook, Queensland.
The Centre is situated on the Springbrook Plateau in Queensland - almost on the New South Wales border, close to the Gold Coast. Being at an altitude of about 1250m, it is usually about 5 degrees cooler than Brisbane or the Gold Coast, and can be quite cold on winter nights. It is an area of sub-tropical rainforest on the slopes of the ancient Mt Warning volcano. The caldera escarpment forms the NSW border, and the present Mt Warning peak is the old volcano core. Along the escarpment are some of the oldest trees in the world - Antarctic Beeches. There are several National Parks on the plateau with long and short walking tracks and large waterfalls.
The Theosophical Society's property extends almost to the cliff edge overlooking Numinbah Valley, and a walking track leads to the top of a 100m high waterfall that plunges into that valley. The grounds are abundant with Pademelons (very small Wallabies) other Wallabies, and many varieties of birds including brightly coloured parrots and the melodious Kurrawongs. The grounds are a registered wildlife refuge and hence pets are not allowed.
