Millaa Millaa Falls

Set outside of Cairns, the Tablelands region sprawls out in a show of ancient scenery and picturesque landmarks. At the heart of it all Millaa Millaa Falls boasts a heritage-listed plunge waterfall that has been on the Heritage Register since 2005.
The falls can be found close to the charming town of Millaa Millaa, the name of which is taken from the Aboriginal phrase MaMu that refers to a rainforest vine that is common in the area. The waterfall itself soars around 18 meters skywards and there is a pool at the base that’s the perfect spot for an afternoon dip.
Millaa Millaa is the most famous waterfalls in the Atherton Tablelands thanks to its aesthetic appeal and iconic representation. The images of the falls are some of the most recognized from the region, many of which are used to advertise the Tablelands and the surrounding scenery. On top of that, the falls have barely changed at all over hundreds of years, leading to an area rich in history and natural beauty.
