November 15, 2015 – Still Waters

(A little late in the day – this is take two. I’ve had to work on my iPad today and when I hit publish nothing was the way it was supposed to be.)

Here is Big and Wide along with High and Mighty 🙂

3 yrs ago (back in 2012) during our winter trip ‘up north’ we visited a spot not far (150kms) from Cairns, Far North Queensland. Close to Ravenshoe we found Millstream Falls. These are some photos I never got round to showing on the blog.

Plunging over the edge of a columnar basalt lava flow ‘Big Millstream Falls’ is reputedly the widest single drop waterfall in Australia. A walking track leads to a viewing area over the falls. Here in the rain shadow of the Great Dividing Range, the dry open woodland vegetation is predominately Eucalyptus.

Yes it was a bit of a walk from the car park – every now and again you’d see and hear the falls in the distance. Definitely worth it in the end 🙂

Standing there looking at all that water tumbling over the edge reminded me of another set of falls we have visited several Times before. I haven’t shown these photos either lol
