Millaa Millaa Falls, Heritage waterfall in Far North Queensland, Australia
The waterfall plunges 18 meters over volcanic basalt formations, creating vertical striations in the rock surface with a large swimming pool at its base.
In 1882, explorers Alexander Douglas and Christie Palmerston established tracks through the rainforest near the falls, creating essential routes for pack teams.
The name derives from MaMu Aboriginal language, referring to the Elaeagnus Triflora vine that provided seasonal food for indigenous communities.
Visitors can access the falls through a sealed road off Palmerston Highway, with facilities including parking areas, toilets, and designated viewing platforms.
The rock formations behind the waterfall display natural vertical patterns caused by weathered volcanic basalt, visible through the cascading water.
