Millstream Falls Millstream Falls is said to be the widest single-drop waterfall in Australia. Like many waterfalls in the Atherton Tablelands, this waterfall tumbles over an old basalt lava flow. In person, we were able to make out somewhat the hexagonal basalt columns underlying the falls as well as around it. I'm not sure if you might be able to tell from the photos I'm presenting on this page. Even though the 400m walk was somewhat upside down (i.e. you descend on the way there and ascend on the way back), this was still an easy waterfall to visit. It only took us about 25 minutes round trip including the time spent at the overlook of the falls.
