Mount Cougal Springbrook National Park

This is a mountainous section of the World Heritage-listed Springbrook National Park.

Mount Cougal's twin peaks have a significant place in stories told by the Yugambeh people, who have inhabited the area's mountains and valleys for thousands of years.

The park protects valuable wildlife habitat and a diverse range of animals. It is also the most easterly known location of the Lamington spiny cray.

Enjoy a picnic at the scenic Cougal Cascades. Read about the park's World Heritage values at the display shelter. Take the walking track past cascades and rock pools to the restored remains of a bush sawmill dating from the 1940s. During your walk, look for the world's largest skink, the land mullet.
