Waterfalls of TNQ not to be missed

1. Waterfall Circuit, Millaa Millaa

Get ready for a day of chasing waterfalls, this circuit provides a trio of stunning falls. Begin at Australia’s most photographed cascades - Millaa Millaa Falls. Gaze in awe of the 18 metres of plunging water. Next, is a 10 minute drive to Zillie Falls, a perfect spot to have lunch. View the falls either from the platform or take the track for a muddy stroll to the bottom. Complete the circuit at the breathtaking Ellinjaa Falls. Five minutes from Zillie, this one is only a short walk from the carpark and definitely has to be seen to be believed.
