Millstream Falls National Park

Millstream Falls National Park is a national park in North Queensland featuring two waterfalls along the same watercourse. The two falls are separated by approximately 500 meters of natural terrain and can be visited through a network of walking tracks.

The Queensland government protected this area as a national park in 1909. This early conservation effort reflects the recognition of the site's natural importance during that period.

The falls are known as Yindinji in Aboriginal tradition and represent a sacred location connected to the stories and practices of the region's Indigenous peoples.

The park is accessible via Kennedy Highway with parking areas and well-marked walking paths to both waterfalls. The terrain is mostly flat and straightforward, making the trails manageable for most visitors.

Big Millstream Falls is Australia's widest single-drop waterfall, plunging 27 meters straight down through dense bushland. The water spreads across a remarkably broad edge before falling vertically.
