Places and Drives - The Tablelands - Millstream Falls
Millstream Falls National Park is on the western
edge of the World Heritage Area. These are the widest falls in Australia,
spilling over an old basalt lava flow. Here in the rain shadow of
the eastern dividing ranges, the dry open woodland vegetation offers
a stark contrast to the rainforest only kilometres away. This park
was the site of an army camp during World War II and many former
soldiers make nostalgic visits to remember those times.
How to get there
Drive 3.5km (2 miles) past Ravenshoe on the Mt Garnet Road and look
for the sign to Millstream Falls. From the carpark, a 400m track
descends through eucalypt forest to the falls. Phone QPWS Ravenshoe
on (07) 4097-6721 to learn more.
