About Ellinjaa Falls

Ellinjaa Falls is the third stop on the Millaa Millaa Waterfall Circuit on the Atherton Tableland, featuring a series of cascades tumbling over moss-covered basalt rocks into a large, clear swimming hole. The falls have a wilder, more natural character than Millaa Millaa and the larger swimming area makes this a favourite for a longer swim stop. A short walk through rainforest leads from the car park to the falls.
