Waterfalls and Views

Another day in the Atherton Tablelands dawned bright, sunny and with perfect weather, heading for a top of 28. I didn’t sleep very well due to some bad sciatica pain, which kept me awake. Today we decided to drive the Waterfall Way and headed south via Malanda Falls to the beautiful Millaa Millaa Falls. The falls are a stunning long drop with a lovely pool for swimming in. There were a lot of people swimming and enjoying the surrounding parkland.

Next we visited the nearby Zillie Falls and Elinjaa Falls where a number of local roosters were clearly begging for food from those visiting the Falls, before stopping to eat our picnic lunch. Then we continued our drive and found the most stunning view across the surrounding valley and mountains at Millaa Millaa Lookout.

We drove back home via Mount Hypipamee National Park where Gadi wanted to do the walk to see the crater lake. Meanwhile Cadbury and I (with my sciatica giving me a lot of pain) had a little nap in the car!

Back to our little home on wheels in the late afternoon, a perfect time to sit under our awning and enjoy the peaceful, green surroundings.

Bit embarrassed to admit that we watched the final of The Batchelor tonight, and predicted the ridiculous ending!

Anyway, g’night from the Tablelands xxRead more
