Pepina Falls

Pepina Falls


Pepina Falls (I've also seen it referred to as Papina Falls) is one of the more obscure waterfalls in the Atherton Tablelands area east of Ravenshoe.

We had to descend a short, steep, 90m overgrown trail/scramble towards the base of the 5m falls in order to get a decent look. The overgrowth worried me a little because we were afraid of plants that have neurotoxins (definitely worse than poison ivy or poison oak). We weren't willing to get wet, but if we were, then we could've waded into the stream and get right in front of the falls.

There was a little bit of confusion between this waterfall and Souita Falls. That was because a sign at Millaa Millaa Falls had the two falls mixed up.

Directions: There's a small pullout and signpost right before a bridge over the stream on which the falls flow. This pullout is on the Palmerston Highway between Millaa Millaa (about 7.5km north) and Ravenshoe (about 18km east).
