Millstream Falls Millstream Falls near Ravenshoe in the Atherton Tablelands is said to be the widest single-drop waterfall in Australia. The claim might be true because you can only see half of the wide, rectangular falls from the official overlook. The other half of the falls actually faces away from the overlook, and I don't think you can safely view it. Like other waterfalls in the tablelands, the falls tumble over an old basalt lava flow as you can kind of make out the hexagonal basalt columns at the falls. The falls are well-signed west of Ravenshoe along the Kennedy Highway, and there's a short, downhill 400m walk from the car park area. Tell us about your experience with this waterfall.
