Millaa Millaa Falls
The star of the Atherton Tableland waterfall circuit: an 18-meter, perfectly curtained waterfall falling into a round pool, where you can swim.
Millaa Millaa Falls lies in the southern Atherton Tableland, about 100 kilometers from Cairns (roughly 1 hour 45 minutes by car). It is the best known of the roughly 15-kilometer ‘Waterfall Circuit.’ The waterfall drops vertically about 18 meters from a basalt cliff, forming a neat curtain of water surrounded by ferns and rainforest. It became famous after appearing in a shampoo commercial and is now a popular photo spot. The viewpoint is right beside the car park, and in summer you can swim in the pool beneath the falls (the water is cold). The circuit also includes Zillie Falls and Elinjaa Falls. Entry is free, and visiting in the morning gives the best light.
