Nice walk, best done early morning. Recommended to take insect repellent as march flies are notorious and do sting. I had terrible reactions and was covered in inflamed, itchy bites for weeks. Other than that I really enjoyed the walk.

Highly recommend even if you don’t do the Skyrail or train you can easily drive to the falls and follow down the natural wetlands to the viewing platform.

Millaa Millaa falls was the first one to visit on the Falls Circuit. Absolutely beautiful and so peaceful here. There is parking close to the falls or you can park up and walk down. Change rooms for those who wish to swim and toilets available.

There is a car park at the bottom, 2.5km return walk, 2 trails that branch off in the middle. Lookout at the top, swimming hole at the bottom which is stunning. It is a dirt path and steps so make sure you have proper shoes on! “Jonique Life” Follow our journey around Australia on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube as we highlight wonderful experiences and magical places you can add to your ever growing bucket list.

Falls seem to be three tiers with a couple of smaller falls at the top. Walk it not easy especially if you have any issues. Roots on track etc meant one needed to look down constantly. I found it difficult but well worth it.

This one is a hidden gem the will blow your mind. It’s a gorgeous waterfall opening out into an expansive valley of rainforest that goes on for hectares. You can swim in the freshwater creek upstream and enjoy everything nature has to offer. You do have to work for your views though as there is a 4.5km one way walk down to the falls with some steep sections. Getting there: It is an adventure in itself to get to the start of the walk down an unsealed track and a decent drive down to the start of the track via dirt road. It is a beautiful walk though through rainforest and diverse plant life so do not let this deter you. Drive toward Malanda on the Atherton Tablelands and turn off Lake Barrine Rd onto Topaz Rd. After a while you will come to the Old Cairns Track which leads to the start of the hike to Windin Falls. There are signs as you get close and you will see cars parked on the road. Note: Windin Falls is steadily becoming more popular with tourists due to the immense beauty. They mostly like to pose and take selfies in the infinity pool just before the drop which has become popular on Instagram so come earlier or later in the day if you want to enjoy the serenity without too many people. Also, there will be mud galore if there has been rain so think about scheduling your walk for the dry season when it will be drier and cooler. Take care close to the falls as it is a long drop down into the gorge and is potentially dangerous if you get too close to the edge.

Zillie is the third stop in the waterfall trail. You follow a path right down to the bottom and can step across small small rocks to get up closer to it. It was a cool day when we visited so unfortunately didn't get to enjoy a dip. Absolutely worth the visit.

There is a car park at top near information center, only 100m to the bottom. Man made pool at the base of the fall with ladders and stairs leading in, very touristy and can be very strong currents after rain. You can swim here and there is lovely short walks nearby “Jonique Life” Follow our journey around Australia on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube as we highlight wonderful experiences and magical places you can add to your ever growing bucket list.
