In the mids several farm lots were granted for sugar growing along the Nerang River. One of them was the Benowa plantation, now the name of a suburb east of Nerang. The Nerang township, on the west side of the river, was surveyed in Lavelle Street was named after the surveyor and Ferry Street signified the route to the river crossing.
A primary school opened in and the South Coast railway was extended to Nerang in The Nerang divisional board was established in , but local interests had the board's office built in Mudgeeraba. Most other institutional buildings were in Nerang: court house, school of arts , Anglican, Catholic and Presbyterian churches and the Commercial, Queens and Star Hotels. It has also been suggested that the word meant "little river". It is a particularly beautiful small valley and grotto in which an arch, formed 23 million years ago by lava from Mount Warning, has created a cavern.
Erosion from a creek which runs into the Nerang River has created a hole in the lava and formed a waterfall through the roof of the cavern which, in muted light, cascades into a pool below. To appreciate the scale of the volcano it is worth noting that, at the time of the eruption, it was 80 km across Tamborine Mountain is part of it as are the lava outcrops at Burleigh Head and Coolangatta and Mount Warning near Murwillumbah. An excellent information board on the path to Natural Bridge explains, with diagrams, that "The basalt rock bridge we see today was once the lip of a waterfall.
Beneath the hard basalt, a softer rock form called agglomerate was eroded by the waterfall, forming a cave beneath. Upstream from the fall, a deep pool was drilled in the creek bed by the swirling action of rocks. This pool eventually broke through the cave roof, allowing the water to plunge through the hole into the cave below. The road leads to Natural Bridge leads through a shady subtropical rainforest grove full of birdlife eastern yellow robins, whipbirds, catbirds, logrunners, wompoo pigeons and brush turkeys and local fauna pademelons, grey eastern water dragons, green tree frogs, brushtail possums, bent winged bats, sugar gliders, spotted tail quoll, bush rats, glowworms.
There is a clearly signposted circuit walk which leads through the rainforest to a lookout overlooking the falls and the hole in the cavern roof. It crosses a creek, passes another elevated viewing area, then moves down to creek level, where it is possible to enter the cavern where forest light shafts down through the opening, illuminating the base of the falls.
The path then crosses the creek again and climbs back up to the parking lot. The information board at the start of the walk suggests that the walk is easier if you head in a clockwise direction. The 'Bridge' is located in Springbrook National Park, in an area once occupied by the Gombemberri Aboriginal people but settled, from the s, by Europeans who came to the area to exploit the rainforest timber.
A giant red cedar taken from a spot near the Natural Bridge in was displayed at the Paris World Fair. The remnant rainforest in the park, which grew from the rich volcanic soils, gives some idea of the environment which characterised the entire Numinbah Valley before colonisation. The circumstances were ideal. The annual rainfall is around mm.
The Natural Bridge was first declared a Scenic and Recreation Reserve in by which time much of the valley had been cleared and dairy farms were being established. The most distinctive timber in the area are the hoop pines. The region Queensland has cities. Nerang is number 16 in the region Queensland. The city is number 61 in Australia.
