(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
Sunday Selections is a weekly meme hosted by River at Drifting through Life as a means of showing photos that have not already featured on the blog.

The local falls are good and I certainly recognise the second falls photos from earlier this year.

We were at those local falls earlier this year and Ravenshoe is a place we loved. Haven’t made it to those other impressive falls though.

Love the falls. All of them. I haven’t seen the second, but they do look great.

Beautiful pictures. Why was it you never published them before? I suppose they were nice to have in ‘reserve’, huh? Thanks!

I could stand and observe waterfalls for a long time. The mist on my face is refreshing while the scene is also refreshing.

The area around Millstream Falls looks so unspoiled. Is it in a National Park?

I love waterfalls. I’ve never seen one in real life, so I enjoy the photos posted by others.
