As 'blujeeper' said, Ceder creek winery is an artificial cave with glow worms designed as a tourist attraction, but the Tamborine National Park Joalah Section has plenty of glow worms in their natural environment at Curtis Falls. Plus it's only a short walk and very scenic with lots of amazing Strangler Figs.

Take a couple of torches to walk the track safely at night, it had hand rails and a decent path etc. Do not shine the torches onto the glow worms though, it alerts them and they switch off (so to speak).

Heres a map.

I live near the Gold Coast as well. Near the new south wales / queensland border,only 30 mins from the Gold Coast is the Natural Arch. Absolutely beautiful. Springbrook National Park. Natural cave, complete with pool and waterfall, as well as the GlowWorms you are looking for.
