This beautiful town is gateway to the southern Atherton Tablelands. Images of its multiple picturesque waterfalls have graced thousands of travel pages. At 850 metres above sea level, the town is nestled among emerald hills surrounded by lush dairy pastures, majestic rainforests and those magnificent cascades.
The 17-kilometre Waterfall Circuit is one of the main reasons to visit, linking Millaa Millaa Falls, Zillie Falls and Ellinjaa Falls along a short drive through rainforest and farmland.
The circuit begins at Teresa Creek Road, just south of the township of Millaa Millaa encompassing Millaa Millaa Falls, Zillie Falls and Ellinjaa Falls. Together, these falls are the most photographed waterfalls in Australia.
Millaa Millaa also makes a good base for exploring more of the southern Atherton Tablelands, with walking trails, lookouts and waterfalls extending towards Mungalli, Ravenshoe and the Palmerston Highway.
