Waterfalls

Cairns City, Queensland

See nature at its very best on this waterfall trail. Just before Innisfail turn off to the Palmerston Highway, a gateway to the Atherton Tablelands. Wind through the mountain range with spectacular lookouts and walking tracks along the way. The Mamu Rainforest Canopy Walkway gives you a close look at the World Heritage rainforest. Beautiful Millaa Millaa nestles in emerald hills surrounded by dairy farms and a circuit of waterfalls including Millaa Millaa Falls where you may see a platypus. Included in the circuit are Zillie Falls and Elinjaa Falls which both have picnic and barbecue facilities. Picnic and swim at Malanda Falls, and spot fascinating wildlife including the elusive Lumholtz Tree-Kangaroo. Yungaburra is a picturesque village with a streetscape largely unchanged since 1910, and the amazing Curtain Fig Tree only minutes away. The remains of Atherton's Chinatown, dating back to the late 1800s, now feature at the community's restored place of worship, the Hou Wang Temple. Enjoy great coffee and the mango wine at Mareeba and see the best of the region from a hot air balloon. One of Kuranda's most treasured landmarks is the Barron River and its spectacular gorge which is home to the mighty Barron Falls.
