The Travelling Fairy DancerThe Cave Fairies

It was midnight. By torchlight, we wove through the dark trees, branches crunching under foot and leaves whispering in the wind above.
When the cave opening came into view, our eyes met in mutual excitement. The sound of rushing water was overwhelming and as a cool breeze engulfed us, we ventured inside.
Undoubtedly natures version of fairy lights, glow worms lit the inside of the cave in a surreal, hazy glow. Covering the walls, the roof and peeking out from rocky shelves, the effect was pure magic.
The Natural Arch, in the Numinbah Valley just 60 minutes from the Gold Coast, is a rock formation over Cave Creek. The creek flows forcefully into the cave pool creating dramatic scenery beneath the tranquil forest.
Accessed by a short walking track through lush rainforest, the experience is equally as beautiful by day. But, at night as you navigate the path surrounded by eery sounds of nocturnal creatures, it's easy to imagine rainforest fairies, peering out at you from behind a vine or an ancient, gnarled tree.
