Millstream Falls
Highlights
Millstream Falls is the widest single-drop waterfall in Australia! The water cascades down from ancient lava flows, making it a spectacular sight. There’s a walking trail that takes you to a lookout where you can see the falls in all their glory. It’s a great spot for photos and learning about Australia’s natural wonders.
Nearby, you can also visit Little Millstream Falls, which are just as beautiful. The park has an interesting history from World War II, where soldiers trained and lived in camps. Follow the heritage walk to see the remains of tent sites, parade grounds, and even trenches – it’s like stepping back in time!
