Malanda Falls is a short but very wide waterfall where it looked to us like the plunge pool even doubled as a swimming pool.
But I must say that the "pool" didn't look very clean (maybe it was intended to be a non-chlorinated pool so the stuff doesn't get into the watercourse?) as well as full of leaves and other things that got washed in. Given how built up the walkway was and the resources poured into converting the plunge pool into a swimming pool, I reckon this place can get pretty busy (though it wasn't on our early evening visit).
Directions: Located near the town of Malanda, this waterfall did feel a little out of the way (though this is relative) for a waterfall in the Atherton Tablelands. We went up here by driving almost 22km along the Millaa Millaa-Malanda Rd north of the Millaa Millaa Tourist Park. When we were within the town of Malanda, we turned left on a three-way intersection onto the Malanda-Atherton Rd where we proceeded for another 1.3km eventually arriving at the well-signed car park to the right.

Going Cuckoo
Whoever penned the last sentence hadn't been there for some time. Signs on the most important intersection aren't apparent which cost me about 10 minutes, and another sign was overgrown with foxglove...[more]
