Ellinjaa Falls, waterfall in Atherton Tableland Queensland, Australia
Ellinjaa Falls is a waterfall in Queensland that drops about 12 meters over a natural rocky ledge into a clear pool below. Located beside Wooroonooran National Park on Theresa Creek Road, it forms part of the Waterfall Circuit, a route connecting several cascades in the Millaa Millaa area.
The area was home to the Yidinji people, who knew and used the land and its waters for generations. European settlement in the 19th century gradually opened the landscape to tourism, eventually making the site a regular destination for visitors exploring the Queensland highlands.
Ellinjaa Falls sits on Ellinjaa Creek, about seven kilometres from Millaa Millaa on the Atherton Tableland. Visitors reach the base on a walking track from the picnic area and carpark on Theresa Creek Road, a short walk that makes the cascade one of the stops on the Waterfall Circuit drive.
The site is easy to reach via Theresa Creek Road and has a free parking area with space for multiple vehicles. The walk from the parking area to the falls is only about 200 meters on a well-maintained paved path, making it simple for most visitors to access.
Ellinjaa Falls is a ledge waterfall, meaning the creek drops over a horizontal rock shelf rather than free-falling. The base is reached by a walking track from the picnic area and carpark on Theresa Creek Road, about seven kilometres from Millaa Millaa.
