Millaa Millaa Falls

Millaa Millaa Falls is a heritage-listed plunge waterfall standing 18. 3 metres (60 ft) high on Theresa Creek Road near the town of Millaa Millaa, in the Atherton Tablelands of Tropical North Queensland.

The name "Millaa Millaa" derives from a MaMu Aboriginal phrase referring to a local rainforest vine. Water cascades over an impressive rock formation into a tranquil plunge pool suitable for swimming, surrounded by dense tropical rainforest.

The falls form the centrepiece of the Millaa Millaa Waterfall Circuit, a scenic 17-kilometre loop that also takes in Zillie Falls and Ellinjaa Falls, winding through rainforest and rolling farmland.

Reached via sealed road off the Palmerston Highway, the site is a short drive from Millaa Millaa township and accessible to visitors of all fitness levels. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register in December 2005.
