About Zillie Falls

Zillie Falls is an attractive waterfall on the Millaa Millaa Waterfall Circuit on the Atherton Tableland, dropping through a narrow jungle gorge into a deep pool. The falls have a more intimate character than Millaa Millaa Falls, with the water channelling through a narrow rock crevice before plunging into a cool swimming hole. A short track from the road leads to an excellent viewing platform overlooking the falls from above.
